The Grand Tutor’s Beloved Daughter and Her Palace Schemes

Gu Zhaochun, the youngest daughter of the Grand Tutor’s household, is forced to enter the Fengyi Palace as a female official after her family becomes caught up in factional struggles at court. She hopes to keep her head down and survive, but her quirky personality keeps landing her in trouble. She helps a disgraced beauty out of a disastrous embroidery situation, only to be framed in return, and then accidentally stumbles into the middle of Lu Yu’s investigation while trying to save a young palace maid. Lu Yu may have the reputation of a “boy genius,” but he loves teasing me, and his meticulously calculating mind always sees through my little tricks. When Noble Consort Shu points the finger at the Gu family over a poisoning at a palace banquet, Lu Yu and I go from trading barbs to working together. As we investigate old cases, we discover that the truth behind the prince’s sudden death twenty years ago is tied to the current emperor and empress. In the palace, where no golden finger can save me, I use ingenuity to break through dead ends and sincerity to win sincerity. In the end, I not only clear my family’s name, but also find my own winning move in Lu Yu’s game.
