She was Prince Chen's concubine. After the princess consort discovered her in an illicit affair, she was poisoned and dumped at the mass grave.
As she slowly regained consciousness there, her golden finger awakened, giving her the power to see through people's hearts.
She had caught the princess consort in an affair, so the woman made her the scapegoat.
Upon returning to the prince's manor, she exposed the princess consort's scandal and cleared her own name. She was made a high-ranking concubine and allowed to stay by his side.
But what good was being a high-ranking concubine? The princess consort had only just died when a princess from a neighboring kingdom was married off to him. The two secondary consorts were also shrewd and formidable women.
By currying favor and playing to people's desires, she made her way through the household with ease. Though her status was humble and she was only a high-ranking concubine, she meant more to him than any of his other consorts.

The male and female protagonists have no aura at all.
