Vindication

Ten years ago, the Su family was falsely accused in a witchcraft case, and only the eldest daughter, Su Zhaoxue, narrowly escaped death. To find her missing sister and uncover the truth, she disguised herself as a man and ventured into the capital. By chance, she teamed up with the imperial censor Fang Ji, who was also implicated in the case, and traveled to Jinzhou as an imperial envoy to investigate. As they pieced together clues, they uncovered a conspiracy by local officials to sell illegal salt under the guise of witchcraft, which also revealed clues to the old Su family case. As the investigation deepened, the mastermind behind it all—the current Imperial Tutor—gradually surfaced, with schemes aimed at the throne itself. Su Zhaoxue and Fang Ji braved life-and-death dangers and ultimately exposed the shocking truth in the imperial court, clearing the names of her family and countless innocent souls, before retiring together.
