This is an imperial court in a time of utter silence, where the emperor’s will is absolute, and his words are law. Everyone walks on eggshells, fearing that a day of imperial favor could be followed by a night of execution.
Xie Ayu, the daughter of a deposed prime minister, survives the ruin of her family. She takes on the name Su Jin and, disguised as a man, enters the government as an official.
To pursue the “bright moon” in her heart, Su Jin becomes a supervising censor under the guidance of the Left Capital Censor-in-Chief, Liu Chaoming. She is determined to right wrongs and remain true to her principles.
However, with Emperor Jingyuan gravely ill, the Crown Prince dead, vassal princes seizing territory, and foreign enemies at the borders, the political situation becomes dangerously unstable.
Due to her bond with the Thirteenth Prince, Zhu Nanxian, Su Jin is pulled into the center of a power struggle. She walks a perilous path, even splitting with her mentor, Liu Chaoming, due to their differing stances.
In this time of crisis, observe how this young censor, a woman who insists on a career in politics and repeatedly puts herself in danger, investigates complex cases, impeaches princes, and punishes corrupt officials. Together with Liu Chaoming, Zhu Nanxian, and Shen Qingyue, she perseveres through ups and downs to find the “bright moon” in her heart and uphold the righteous path.
The path you travel may be blocked by mountains and rivers, and your vision may be obscured by dark clouds. But if you have an open heart, why should you care who stirs up trouble? As long as the “bright moon” in your heart remains, you will one day grasp it.
