After her grandfather's death, Bai Hanyun was disowned by her parents and cast out of the Bai family. With nowhere else to go, she left the city and returned to the countryside. There, by a twist of fate, she discovered an antique mirror hidden in the basement of her newly purchased home. From that moment on, strange events began to unfold—until one day, she stumbled upon a prayer from a young general.

Feng Xiyan, besieged by the Yuezhi Tribe and betrayed by the imperial court, had been driven into a desperate corner. With no access to water, food, or medicine, he and the citizens of Xiqiang City could do nothing but await death. But just as all hope seemed lost, Heaven intervened. From that moment on, the Feng Army and the people of Xiqiang City had enough food and water, living lives more prosperous than even the Emperor himself.

A shiver ran down the captain's spine at Wen Kang's questions. Swallowing hard, he immediately ordered, "You guys, drag them all out!"


"Yes, Captain." The imperial guards responded in unison.


As the imperial guards dragged the palace maidservants and eunuchs away, the captain personally seized the chief eunuch and dragged him out as well.


Reaching toward Wen Qiaolun, the chief eunuch struggled desperately. "Empress Dowager, please save this servant! Empress Dowager—!"


Hearing this, Wen Qiaolun covered her ears and curled up, shrinking herself as much as possible.


The door slammed shut before the chief eunuch could finish his words. Before long, the palace maidservants and eunuchs' screams came from the outside.


The sounds of flesh being struck, blood splattering, and agonized screams echoed throughout Yongping Palace.
