Word has it that Shen Qingyan, head of the Xiaoyao Palace, surrendered to the imperial court with her followers and settled for a low-ranking inspector's post.
Backed by the Crown Prince, she roams the streets of the capital and acts outrageously, living carefree for three whole years.
The officials sneer that she's spoiled by favor, arrogant, and useless.
No one knows that she is the emperor's own daughter, secretly left among the common people after he "kept the child and got rid of the father,"
his cherished treasure whom he has kept under wraps.
Only because she has gone mad from cultivation and has little time left does she plan every step,
all to pave a stable road ahead for everyone in her sect.
Until a murder case at an earl's manor
leads her to slap a brazen man hard across the face.
Lu Ran, the empress's nephew, the young commander of the Lu Army,
won ten years of peace at the border by spearing an enemy general from his horse in a single strike at the Battle of Quehe.
Yet he was left gravely wounded, permanently disabled and stripped of his will, then framed as a murderer.
That slap jolts him out of his desire to die.
He senses that this woman is shrouded in mystery,
so he fights for the position of junior minister at the Court of Judicial Review, originally hoping to investigate her at close range.
But wrongful convictions involving a minister's wife, a murder in the marketplace, strange happenings at the Imperial College...
One bloody case after another lands before them.
He can no longer hold back: "Our soldiers bleed at the border to defend our homeland,
while you lot in the capital kill with impunity and pervert the law. Even if I have to drag this broken body through it,
I'll get to the bottom of this!"
He used to be a battlefield god of war, but now he panics and fumbles when it comes to love.
She teases him in her spare time, growing more and more addicted to watching him bristle like a jumping bamboo ball.
The court is roiled by undercurrents, and old cases are tangled in layer upon layer of conspiracy.
A former demon cult enchantress and a gravely wounded god of war
stand side by side through mysterious cases, wielding justice to protect the peace of their corner of the world.
