An Xuanying, the legitimate daughter of Anping's uncle, was twenty-eight years old. She was born with Hui Zhilan's heart, and she was the queen of the general family. His family was knighted for their military exploits, and his father and brother died on the battlefield, leaving only his grandmother (the second-class imperial wife), his mother Xu Fengzhen (the second daughter of Duke Xu's family), and his unsatisfactory younger brother An Yiming. Because all the men were gone, the An family had no say in the court, and An Xuanying was in charge of all matters in the government.
She has outstanding martial arts skills, extraordinary resourcefulness, and early wisdom. She secretly adopted street children to establish an intelligence system. The secret security department was initially used to protect the government, and later became a gambling capital. During a poetry gathering at the West Lake Lantern Festival, she disguised herself as a man and participated under the pseudonym "An Yi Ming" (her younger brother's real name). With her talent and knowledge, she impressed the eighth prince Xiao Zhaoheng (pseudonym Xiao Yunzhou) who was traveling incognito. Xiao Zhaoheng discovered his identity, and the relationship between the two gradually deepened.
At that time, the old emperor tacitly allowed the prince to seize the throne. The second prince's party (the uncle was the prime minister Wei Heng) was powerful and the prince was single. The sixth prince was framed and exiled because of Xu Guogong's neutrality. Xu Guogong's mansion was implicated, and An Yiming was tricked into incurring gambling debts. After An Xuanying sold her property to pay off her debts, she painfully realized that "no one in the court is like fish." At this time, the appreciation of the eighth prince and the changes in her family made her determined to join the game, secretly supporting Xiao Zhaoheng, using the intelligence system as an edge, to survive in the turbulent court battles, and opened a legendary chapter of hiding behind the scenes and vying for imperial power.
