What is good, and what is bad? There seems to be no clear line between them.
The victor is good, the loser is bad. It has always seemed that way.
Held hostage in an enemy state for seven years, Yan Xiyue suffered every kind of humiliation. Treated like a trinket someone had casually bought, she was toyed with and endured endless scorn and mockery.
After returning to her homeland, she appeared radiant and immensely noble, yet people still looked down on her. They despised her behind her back and regarded her as a mark of shame.
Yan Xiyue married Cui Hong, the legitimate son of a marquis's household. But not long after their wedding, Cui Hong was murdered. His death brought Yan Xiyue into contact with Pei Yan, an official of the Court of Judicial Review.
But the case stalled...
Pei Yan passed the imperial examinations and rose through the ranks to become an official of the Court of Judicial Review. After years in office, he had solved several mysterious cases. Later, he was assigned to investigate Cui Hong's murder, but made no progress.
Then he discovered that Princess Jinhua was acting strangely, and gradually began to grow suspicious.
