Mountains and Rivers Are White

Seven years ago, the Zhenbei Palace was destroyed overnight, and the Xie family was accused of treason. The bloody fire in Qinghe City will not be extinguished. Seven years later, Xie Jibai, the only surviving daughter of the Xie family, changed her name to Shen Wei and became the most inconspicuous copywriter in the palace. She lowered her eyebrows and was careful to survive. She thought she would be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life, until one day she saw her father Xie Zhige's name in a dead book. A corner of a fragment of an old case that had been deliberately erased, a cold-worded key plate of unknown origin, and an old eunuch who had taken care of her before her death dragged her back into the murder that had been buried for seven years. She wanted to know whether the Xie family was rebellious back then. She wanted to know what happened in Qinghe City. She wanted to know even more why everyone with knowledge of the matter was trying to persuade her not to continue investigating. The deep palace is like a net, and the court is like a bureau. The sickly and gentle Huai Prince Xiao Yanci, the benevolent and upright prince Xiao Chengzuo, the cold and unpredictable emperor Xiao Xuanji, her brother who had been missing for many years, and her half-mad mother appeared one after another in her life. Every step closer to the truth takes her further away from her old self. She entered the game as a humble person, dormant in the shadow of the palace wall, playing chess in the wind and snow of the Golden Palace. She wanted to uncover old cases buried by power, seek justice for the deceased, and see with her own eyes what kind of bloody foundation lay hidden in Dayin, which was called the prosperous age.
