On the night when her country was destroyed and her family was destroyed, she fell into the abyss, but she grabbed a glimmer of hope.
Wei Qingyan, the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister of Xiyan, witnessed the destruction of her country and her family, and fell off a cliff with her young brother. The cold river water swallowed up hope. In the desperate situation, the mysterious swordsman came to rescue her, and it turned out to be a silver bell left by her father on her wrist. The silver bell led to the life-saving grace of three years ago, and also led to a deeper mystery - the blood feud between the former prince of Dongling.
In order to avenge his brother and regain the dignity of his motherland, Wei Qingyan transformed into a maid "Ayan" and sneaked into Longtan Tiger's Den, the residence of General Dong Ling. This is the lair of her enemies and the last place where her benefactor appeared.
There are turbulent undercurrents in the General's Mansion: the third young master who hides his dandy appearance, the second young master who is deeply scheming, the protector of the country who has a large number of soldiers, the powerful people in the back palace...
Wei Qingyan was dealing with dangers, and he was startled at every step.
She approached "Yilan Pavilion" to explore the secrets buried under the forbidden magnolia tree in the northwest corner. The gaze of the third young master of the Gao family followed her closely, probing, forcing, and even... Strange attention, which frightened her. In the chaos of her wedding night, she meets his suspected benefactor, who is unexpectedly appointed by the emperor to investigate the case, pushing her into the center of the storm.
The hatred of the country and the family, the mystery of identity, the lost relatives, the entangled emotions... In this whirlpool of power and intrigue, can Wei Qingyan uncover the truth and avenge his country? Where does the life, death and mission of the benefactor lead? And the seemingly dandy Gaojia Sanlang with bottomless eyes, is he an enemy or a friend?
A picture scroll about revenge, redemption and love in troubled times is slowly unfolding...
Purpose: In the whirlpool of deep government intrigues, they tear off their masks, seek redemption in the hatred of their country and family, and prove their sincerity in the bloody smoke.
