The Phoenix Marrow Bone Mirror

(A scheming, aloof little white flower VS a sword-wielding princess who solves cases like a god)

She is the most honored princess of Nanjing. Lost among the common folk at the age of five, she wasn’t grandly welcomed back to the palace until she was twenty. But a palace coup awaited her. Her father was killed, and she was made the scapegoat.

She got none of the good fortune of being a princess, yet had to bear the burden of one. What kind of nonsense is that?

When she wakes again, she is still Zhu Yu, a low-ranking coroner in Qinghe County.

Reborn into a new life, she decides to conceal her identity and use the willow-leaf knife taught by her master to make a big move!

“My blade can cut through anything without leaving a trace. It is flawless, the finest in the world! I wield it to clear the people’s names and overcome every obstacle!”

The Xie clan prides itself on a century of integrity and detachment. Its family rules declare: Do not rely on influence, seek no high office, and take no part in palace struggles. Be a loyal servant of the state.

And yet the clan produced a corrupt official like Xie Zhan.

Everyone praises him as the equal of the famed Lord Xie of old. Only Zhu Yu knows that this little white flower had already turned dark in her previous life.

She died to a gentle arrow in her previous life. Xie Zhan told her, “I hope Your Highness will keep your eyes open in your next life and avoid meeting a hound like me.”

But in this life, he says, “I only hope you’ll open your eyes and look at me.”
