Records of Jin Shu's Power Play

In the eternal night of Changming Hall, Shen Jinshu traces bloodstains on the imperial desk. After a decade of hiding, she embeds the persona of 'Lin Wanqing' into her very flesh, turning whispered secrets by the emperor into poisoned daggers, crushing the military pass from Duke Mu into stepping stones to heaven, and taming Xiao Yan—the sword that once pierced her heart—into a cold blade to slit her enemies' throats. Outside the Golden Hall, falling red plums resemble the blood drops from her father's armor that night. Navigating between the emperor, Duke Mu, and guard Xiao Yan, Shen Jinshu uses power schemes and love as weapons, finally ascending to the throne.
