The story
What it's about
After betrayal drives Huanhua Valley into exile, its heiress Fang Muwan rebuilds her life—only to be drawn back into turmoil when an assassination case exposes the masked leader of Wufeng Pavilion as her former husband, Xie Ciyuan. As tyranny tightens its grip on the realm, old love and deep grudges resurface, forcing her to choose between the fate of a nation and the heart she once tried to forget.
