Chu Ci was originally the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, a prominent family in Kyoto. Her father and brother were officials in the court, and her family was prosperous. She also had a marriage contract, and her fiancé was Pei Zhan, the son of a noble family in the Qing Dynasty. She thought her life would be stable and worry-free, until that day, the whole family was executed, and Pei Zhan personally handed over the evidence of the Chu family's father and brother.
She waited for her only hope in the secret cell, thinking that Pei Zhan would save her, but what she was waiting for was an edict handed over by him -> "Your Majesty is kind and considers your youth, and pardons you as a sin slave and brings you to Ye Ting. I hope you will abide by your duty."
Chu Ci looked at the familiar handwriting and finally smiled.
She committed suicide that night, but woke up in a pool of blood - she was reborn and returned to three months before her family was confiscated.
In this life, she is no longer the daughter of a noble family who is at the mercy of others. She wants to personally find out the truth behind the family's destruction and regain the glory that belongs to the Chu family. She hides her identity and sneaks into the whirlpool of power with another identity, fighting every step of the way just to carve out a bloody path.
But she didn't expect that in the coldest abyss, she would meet the powerful supervisory envoy - Shen Yehan.
He saw through her disguise, but when she was at her most desperate, he handed her a knife.
> "You want revenge? OK, I'll teach you how to kill."
> "You want life? Then come and take my heart."
He was an evil ghost, a tyrant, and a cold-blooded supervisor, but he became her only light in purgatory.
