Chu Wan has coughed since the cradle; everyone in the manor treats the sickly orphan girl as already half-buried. Then, on a rain-drowned night, fire and steel come for her family — and the girl who was never expected to survive starts counting her enemies. Frail body, iron patience: she will take back everything that was stolen, name by name, until the last door left to open is the throne itself. A complete 100-chapter revenge ascent. Chinese edition; English translation in progress.
