After treacherous ministers framed the General's household, the entire family was thrown into prison. Only after the Shen family fell from power did Shen Liangyue get to witness the oppression and injustice of imperial authority.
Her elder sister was dead, her brother had vanished, and her father could no longer don armor and fight the enemy. Their path to survival was all but closed.
Just when she was at a loss, the enemy nation invaded once more. She took up the banner, determined to win herself a chance at survival through military merit.
She headed to the border with a burning desire to kill, repeatedly winning battles through her experience.
Her spear was stained with blood, and her military exploits were countless. But when she returned victorious, the king wanted nothing but her life.
With military power in her hands and her achievements so great that they threatened the throne, she found herself watched by every faction. Seeing the emperor's fear of her, Shen Liangyue resolved to bring down this unjust court.
The emperor wanted to make her a sacrificial dog, but she refused to give the tyrant his way.
Her sister's death had long since planted the seeds of vengeance in her heart. Now that her spear was out of its sheath, she no longer concealed its sharp edge.
From the day she escaped, she became a vengeful spirit, determined to seek justice for all those who had died unjustly.
She pretended to submit to the emperor. No matter how baffled others were that she would help her enemy, she never wavered. She moved carefully, step by step, as she steadily took power for herself.
The rift between ruler and minister, father and son turning against each other: in this court of deceit and intrigue, who is a pawn, and who is the player moving the pieces? It remains to be seen.
