In the previous life, Lian Zhiwei, the legitimate daughter of the Shang Shu Mansion, had her eyes gouged out and her legs broken by the fake daughter Lianyun Yao. She was stigmatized and died in a sea of fire. When she was dying, she clutched the bloody dragon-patterned jade pendant tightly and vowed to make the hypocritical Hou Mansion repay the blood debt. Once she was reborn as a fifteen-year-old before her identity was revealed, she took off her cowardly coat and opened her eyes in the ashes of the fire - this time, she wanted to be the chess player and let the fire of hell's karma come back to bite her enemies.
On the surface, she appears to be a delicate and docile lady from the Hou Mansion, but in reality she is the "Sage of Brocade Medicine" who possesses the skills of healing and poisoning. In the name of saving people, she carried out heart-breaking tricks: using poisonous incense to make her aunt Lin see ghosts every night and reveal her crime of killing a concubine, exposing Lian Yunyao's scandalous behavior of stealing poems in public at a poetry meeting, and using modern cryptography to build an intelligence network "Hidden Tower" to gain a panoramic view of Kyoto's economic lifeline and the secrets of the court. When she cured the Queen Mother's headache and was awarded the Golden Thread Jade Medal, and when she teamed up with Xie Heng, a counselor from a poor family, to stir up trouble in the court, those who had once stepped her into dust were finally shocked to realize that this "dodder flower" had long since turned into a thorny Shura.
The white lotus mask of the fake daughter Lianyun Yao was peeled off layer by layer, and the bloodline of the enemy country was actually involved; the crazy criticizing prince Xiao Che was both an enemy and a friend, using the bait of destroying the decadent dynasty to dance with her. From house fights to national wars, from business monopoly to palace bloodbath, Lian Zhiwei climbed to the pinnacle of power by stepping on the bones of her enemies, but discovered the truth about her tragic death in her previous life during the change of imperial power - her bloodline and her rebirth are the key to subverting the dynasty.
