[Clear-eyed puppet noblewoman vs. scheming, bold hostage prince] After serving as a stand-in for the Crown Prince Xiao Jue’s beloved for ten years, Liu Yunzhi is casually cast aside with the words, “She’s back. You should step down.” Everyone thinks she is a pitiful puppet who has been discarded. No one knows that she spent those ten years biding her time while laying out a game of her own. Her entire family was wrongfully killed, and she will find the forged letter accusing them of treason and clear her father’s name. But when her trail leads to Jinling, she discovers that the former aide who imitated her father’s handwriting is trying to destroy the evidence. Just then, the man who once said, “A puppet’s heart is given by its master,” appears in the shadows of the alley behind her, wearing a gray cloak. What does he want back: his puppet, or the true heart he pushed away with his own hands?
