No one knew that the seemingly ordinary illegitimate daughter of the Mu family, after tearing off her disguise and donning a mask, was actually the Great Xing Dynasty's Empress's top female tyrant official.
It was rumored that she had branded women's faces, severed men's roots, punished corrupt officials, and curbed wicked functionaries. She was a harbinger of death, crawled out from mountains of corpses, a terrifying yaksha whose mere name sent shivers down spines.
In the imperial court, everyone kept their distance, yet only the clean-stream scholar-official, Lord Ye, who had passed the imperial examination as a top scholar, insisted on approaching her despite the difficulties. Wait a moment? It's said that the crown prince of Ruiyang was also unparalleled in talent, both civil and martial, so why has his attention towards Lady Mu recently become a bit too much?
Mu Lian: She is the most sinister trick to scare children, the sharpest knife in the Empress's hand, and the strongest medicine to cure chronic ailments.
Ye Yiqing: It is said that when the cunning rabbit dies, the hounds are boiled. From then on, there would be no more female tyrant officials, only my beautiful wife in the golden house of the Ye family.
Li Peixuan: Dream on! With this crown prince here, who knows whose wife she'll be?
