Yanxing's Ascending Path of Revenge - Episode 1

At a court ceremony the Emperor elevates Consort Ning to Noble Consort. The former General Shen, Yanxing, bursts in to accuse Your Highness of slaughtering her family and demands justice. Courtiers brand her disruptive; one suggests sending her to the official brothel Silver Lotus instead of execution. The Emperor demotes Yanxing to an official courtesan and forbids her leaving without permission. At the Silver Lotus, while other girls despair, Yanxing vows this is the beginning of her revenge and reveals that Consort Ning killed all 38 members of her family. Confined and shamed, her accusation and vow remain unanswered.
