Her peaceful life is shattered when she returns home to discover a tragedy has befallen her adoptive family, leaving her as the sole survivor.
Driven by grief and a need for justice, Chu Jiu Li travels to the imperial capital. Her path crosses with the National Preceptor, who reveals secrets from the past. To gain access to the inner circles of power, she feigns loyalty and becomes his apprentice, secretly investigating the forces behind her family's destruction.
