Jinghong

Use blood as a guide to awaken the remaining soul of the jade; use memory as a sacrifice to tear apart the lies of power!​ On the winter solstice of the twenty-seventh year of Yong'an, Shen Jingyan, the orphan of Jinyusi, was tied to the torture pillar and became a sacrifice for the blood sacrifice of the Queen Mother Liu E. When she used the blood from the tip of her tongue to activate the jade that had been hidden for twelve years, the phantom of the late emperor revealed a shocking conspiracy - it turned out that the imperial edict passed down by the dynasty was actually a lie that had been tampered with by the Heart-Eating Curse! What's even more frightening is that every time she deciphers the truth about Jinyu, her memory will disappear like flying ashes.​ Xiao Che, the king of Jingan, has an ambergris jade pendant on his waist that hides a secret; the executioner under the bronze mask has the same birthmark behind his ear as the secret guard who killed his family twelve years ago. In the blood-misted Ember Palace, the chase in the Nine-winding Corridor, and the secret passage deep in the dark river, Shen Jingyan and Xiao Che joined hands to fight against numerous murderous intentions, but they did not know that they were falling into a deeper puzzle of memory.​ "The Reverse Ember Formation of the Palace of True Words can make lies burn." Her father's dying words became her only guide for revenge. However, the closer she got to the truth, the faster her memories faded - first the afternoon when her father taught her how to identify the characters in the Ember language, then the coordinates of the secret passage that her senior brother exchanged his life for, and finally, even Xiao Che, who was fighting side by side, began to blur into ashes.​ When the twelve chapter patterns on the dragon robe turn into golden butterflies, and when the runes of the Heart-Eating Curse disintegrate in the blood and fire, Shen Jingyan will eventually tear apart the centuries-old darkness of the dynasty in the Reverse Ember Formation at the cost of burning all his memories. Conspiracies and spells are intertwined, forgetfulness and the truth are at stake. Can this life-and-death revenge allow the light of Jinyu to illuminate a world shrouded in lies?​
