Song Zhixue has known since childhood that she is a dying person. Even if she disguises herself as a man and joins the Embroidered Uniform Guard, she will be doomed if her secret is ever discovered.
But she has never believed in fate. Even if the ending is certain death, how can she know there isn't another way out unless she gives it a try?
She thought she could lie low until the day she uncovered the truth. She never expected to meet the greatest calamity of her life.
Whether she's investigating a case or inspecting the salt trade, he's always there.
He's like a demon star in her fate, tormenting her, pushing her aside, and protecting her.
Perhaps he was always destined to become her ally. Perhaps they were always meant to walk this thorny path together, never to part.

The first time Xie Yizhou saw Song Zhixue, he recognized her as the girl who had comforted him when they were children.
Years had passed, but in his midnight dreams, he could still recall the red plum blossoms blooming in the snow that day, and the delicate figure beneath them, like a bright moon that stirred countless fantasies within him.
But the girl's family had fallen from grace, and despite searching all over the capital, he couldn't find her. Who would have thought that someone had changed her name and identity and put her in this gloomy government office?
He wanted to protect her, like a dark bird fallen from the sky. But he forgot that his beloved had never been a canary in a cage. She was a phoenix, reborn from the flames.
