Before the age of sixteen, Xiao Ling was the most radiant and beloved Lady of Rongle in the city of Lian’an. Then tragedy struck.

Her entire family-the powerful Xiao clan-was annihilated overnight. The Jingkang Army, loyal border defenders, perished under the emperor’s suspicion. She survived by chance, but was left poisoned and broken. With the injustice unresolved, how could her soul rest?

Years later, she returns-no longer the gentle noble lady, but a domineering princess sent on a political marriage.

Hiding her true identity, she joins forces with her childhood sweetheart, stirring chaos, manipulating hearts, and vowing to clear the name of the Xiao clan and the Jingkang Army. Everyone who betrayed her must pay.

If those in power stand in her way, she’ll see them ruined.

If anyone dares block her path, she’ll leave no one alive.

But just as justice is served and enemies lie dead, she uncovers a terrifying truth-the true mastermind was someone else all along. Even the ones moving the pieces were only pawns in a greater game.

They were all players on a board far more dangerous than they knew.
