Pillow Knife

In her previous life, Yan Liuli was the only female executioner in the Dayan Dynasty. She came from a family of executioners, and her sword skills were as precise as embroidery. She worked in the industry for eight years and handled 117 people without any wrongdoing. She believes in the iron law - the evidence of guilt is clear before the knife falls, and life and death are clear after the knife falls. Until the last cut. In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yong'an, she was ordered to execute the censor Xiao Xuanye who was accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason". On the eve of the execution, she found evidence of his innocence in a secret letter from the Ministry of Punishment. However, the imperial edict has been issued and the sword cannot be stopped. When the knife fell, the whole city was silent. He raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes as calm as water. Three days later, she was arrested for "leaking criminal secrets" and executed late. When she opened her eyes again - she became the frail and sick legitimate daughter of the Taifu Mansion. She was bullied by her stepmother and plotted by her concubine. Her stepmother even wanted to marry her off to a salt official who was over sixty years old. What shocked her even more was that she bumped into someone who shouldn't have been there - Xiao Xuanye. The man who died under her sword is now alive and is already the imperial censor of the dynasty. At the age of twenty-four, he has become the most powerful person in the government and is known as "Jade-faced Yama".
