With the Realm at Peace, Love Is Sealed at Yanmen

Beyond Yanmen Pass, wind and snow buried the bones of thirty thousand loyal souls. In the Golden Throne Hall, a single imperial edict brought disgrace upon the entire Jiang family. Fifteen years ago, her father was accused of treason and colluding with the enemy, and her mother hanged herself, leaving only Jiang Wan, an orphan who went into hiding and lived with her hatred, vowing to uncover the truth behind this monstrous injustice. She struggles to survive in the city’s grimy underbelly, all to find the twelve missing pages of a case file. He holds high office and commands the Embroidered Uniform Guard, cold and ruthless as he investigates cases without rest. When the daughter of a condemned official crosses paths with a powerful commander who rules the court, a game of trust and probing begins. As eight pieces of hard evidence are restored one by one and three keys unlock the sealed past, Jiang Wan is shocked to discover that the marks on her mother’s neck were not from suicide by hanging, but from a carefully planned murder to silence her. In court, the emperor’s schemes are unfathomable; on the border, generals and ministers weave their plots together. In this perilous game of strategy, he is the sharpest blade in her hand, and she is the only light in his darkness. From using each other to pledging their lives to one another, they join hands to clear away layer upon layer of mist. They must not only restore the names of thirty thousand soldiers, but also weather this treacherous age until the clouds part and the moon shines through, secure peace for the realm, and pledge their love at Yanmen Pass.
