Scapegoat's Abyss

In the shadow of Prince Regent Dorgon’s early Qing power, his foster son causes a handmaiden’s death and frames her sister to cover the crime. The surviving sister, a laundry slave, uncovers the scandalous rumor of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang’s secret marriage and weaponizes it for a revenge that consumes both the regent’s house and her own soul, turning justice into self-immolating ecstasy.
