The new emperor ascended the throne, and Shen Zhiwei, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, was summoned to the harem by an imperial edict. Everyone said that she was the substitute of Emperor Bai Yueguang and Gu Qingyi; but she understood on the first day she entered the palace - she was not here to be a concubine. She's here to be a shield. Emperor Xiao Jinghuan needs someone who can protect his beloved from political knives. She is quiet, sensible, and does not fight for anything - the perfect political stand-in. But none of them knew that Shen Zhiwei spent two years secretly observing human nature before entering the palace and wrote a 372-page "Personnel Record". She saw through everyone, including the emperor. She lives her life as a chess piece in order to survive on the chessboard. But when she peeled apart the truth about the harem layer by layer, she discovered——
He chose her to enter the palace, never because of who her face looked like. It was because her eyes looked so much like his late biological mother. This secret makes everything fall apart. When she changed from a chess piece to a presence that he could no longer ignore, the emperor finally lost his position. Kneel down, write in blood, declare in court... Look back every step of the way. But Shen Zhiwei just closed the personnel record gently - she no longer needed his turning back. What she needs is for this deep palace to bow to her.
