Feng Ziyi

Teacher Zhao Xingrou falls for warlord Yi Qiuting, but family differences and his domineering ways tear them apart. Believing her child is lost, she fakes her death and disappears. Years later, she returns, determined to prove that women can shape their own destiny with strength and independence.

During a visit to her childhood home, the imperial consort is found dead under mysterious circumstances in the peach blossom forest. With a wandering swordsman named Yan Shiyi as the prime suspect, the manor is sealed off under strict orders. As the investigation unfolds, long-buried secrets emerge, and the truth becomes increasingly difficult to uncover.
