After Impersonating the Princess, I Swept the Realm

Shen Qingliu runs Chunquan Pavilion, raising over a dozen women who perform arts but never sell themselves. She adopts the real Princess Shen Yingyu, who was lost as a child. When Shen Yingyu grows up, a local official identifies her by a birthmark on her forearm. Believing Chunquan Pavilion is a brothel and wishing to erase her past with the place that raised her, she sets the pavilion on fire with soldiers and kills everyone who was kind to her. Shen Fujin escapes by chance. Holding Shen Yingyu's jade pendant, she falsely claims to be the princess before Crown Prince Xiao Tingyi, marking the beginning of her revenge.
