About This Book

A woman traveling to the capital in male disguise is lured into a noble household, resists an assault and fatally strikes her attacker with a jade ruyi, then leaps from a tower and is seized. Brought to trial, she offers a false identity to protect others, but her real father, presiding over the case, recognizes her and shelters her while political pressure and a formal death sentence mount. Loyal friends and rescued allies then conspire to save her, some volunteering to assume guilt and others planning a desperate rescue at the execution, setting the stage for an imminent, high-risk intervention.
