In the twenty-seventh year of Yong'an, Shen Qingci, the daughter of the former criminal official, hid in Luoyang as "Su Ning", the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and returned with a bloody feud. Three years ago, the Shen family was framed by the regent Xiao Yuan, and everyone in the family was executed. Only she escaped from death, vowing to wash away her grievances and overthrow the hypocritical regime.
There are undercurrents surging in Luoyang City, and the power chess game is complicated. She opened "Ningxiang Pavilion" as a stronghold, while collecting intelligence and contacting allies, she also circled in the maelstrom of intrigues - she tested each other and reached cooperation with the scheming prince Xiao Che, she had several confrontations with the chic and righteous Jianghu leader Xie Heng, and gradually fell in love, and she formed an alliance with the mysterious Lord of the Dark Pavilion Ye Chen and went into danger together.

She stirred up the storm with her slender body, and worked step by step in the intertwining of revenge and emotional lines. Facing the regent's crazy counterattack, the Huns' secret collusion, and the love-hate pull of the three male protagonists, Shen Qingci awakens his strength in the test of life and death, and makes a choice between the country and his personal grudges.
