She was originally a carefree lady from the south of the Yangtze River, but due to an accident, she stepped into the palace and her destiny was changed.
Su Lingyi, the daughter of the censor of Jiangnan Province, was born with a beautiful and unsullied temperament. She once made a lifelong promise with her childhood sweetheart Gu Jinyu, and also dreamed about the future with her brother Su Mingyuan. However, a sudden change broke her peaceful life - her elder brother was falsely accused and imprisoned because he offended the powerful because of injustice. In order to save his brother, Su Lingyi resolutely decided to participate in the draft and enter the palace.
In the palace, everyone is shocked every step of the way. She gradually grows from an innocent girl to a master of tactics, fighting against all odds in the intrigues of the harem. She once thought that by ascending to a lower position, she could protect her family and control her destiny, but she didn't know that behind the peak of power was the gradual drifting away of family, friendship and love.
"If I had known that those in this position would be destined to live a lonely life, would I still have chosen this path?"
Su Lingyi stood on the palace wall, looking towards the south of the Yangtze River in the distance, with a trace of tears in his eyes.
This is a growth epic from innocence to machination, and also a cycle of destiny from possession to loss. She gained the world, but lost everything she valued at first.
