The wind in Yao'an City always carries some indescribable smell.
Chen Chujing tied up her long hair, put on men's clothes, and dressed up neatly to hide her daughter's body, just to find out the truth about how the entire Chen family was wiped out. That year was full of blood, but she was saved by her father's old friend. From then on, she shouldered the blood feud and grew into a sharp blade with a hidden edge in the light and shadow of the sword.
The arrival of Zhang Xiaowen, the young minister of Dali Temple, broke her step-by-step investigation. This man came from a wealthy family, but he had a sense of alienation and coldness about him, and there was an unknown sadness hidden in his eyes. He came here for a strange case with wide implications, and he acted step by step, but he was in tit-for-tat confrontation with the decisive "Chen Jing" at every turn.
He is as meticulous as silk, and she gets to the point. The two are like fire and water, but in the dangerous pursuits, they get a glimpse of each other's true appearance behind each other's masks - behind her tenacity is loneliness and helplessness, and under his harshness, she can't help herself.
As old cases gradually intertwined with current strange cases, the shadow of the Chen family's destruction was faintly connected to the secrets of the Zhang Xiaowen family. In the light of swords and shadows, suspicion and temptation turned into sincerity.
The concealment of the past and the unknown feelings are no longer hidden. Are both parties willing to take off all guard from now on and reveal the shackles of the family and the affection in their hearts?
The wind in Yao'an City is still the same, but it creates different ripples. How can two people carrying the past move forward in this world?
Intention: Forge ahead
