Zhao Li, the legitimate princess of the northwest, became a victim of the court's checks and balances and went to Da Chu to serve as a hostage.
Deep in the palace, she was framed for having a secret meeting with the prince. Although she was lucky enough to survive, she was placed in the backyard of the palace where undercurrents were surging, and was secretly drugged with chronic poison.
The gangsters were pressing closer, and they framed her for collaborating with the enemy and treason.
"I have never meant harm to others, why don't you believe me?
Zhao Li was thrown into death row and was tortured without anyone paying attention. The flogging accelerated the onset of the poison. She finally died with regret. Before she died, she only caught a glimpse of a pair of boots stepping into the cell. She did not know the mastermind until her death.
When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn as Gu Qingcheng, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Holding the opportunity of a new life, the past humiliations and hidden conspiracies are still fresh in her mind, and the mastermind behind the scenes is deep in the darkness. She hides her hatred and takes the initiative to enter the chess game of the disputes back then. She is determined to clear away the fog, clear her grievances, and find stability and happiness.
