Version that matches the title of the book:
She is the lowest-ranking maid, and he is the puppet emperor.
For twenty years in the palace, she was careful at every step, while he endured and lurked.
The year Shen Zhiwei entered the palace, he only brought one copper coin and a bowl of uneaten wontons.
Her father was a sixth-grade official and her mother was sick, so she was destined to be a humble palace maid.
But no one expected that this taciturn girl would become the only person in the Qianyuan Palace who could get close to the emperor.
Xiao Jingyun, an emperor who ascended the throne at a young age, was ousted by the Queen Mother, eunuchs, and aristocratic families.
He was gloomy, withdrawn, moody, and even his personal eunuchs did not dare to get close to him.
Until the palace maid named Shen Zhiwei appeared——
She was as quiet as a shadow, but she could always give him warm medicine when he coughed up blood, and silently added a light when he was painting late into the night.
"My Qianyuan Palace does not need useless people."
"That servant... Can organize the memorials for His Majesty."
From a bowl of bitter medicine to standing side by side;
From being a prisoner in the cold palace to taking charge of the world.
The deep palace is like a chess game, and they are the most understanding chess players.
——Later, at the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, he personally put the phoenix crown on her in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
"In my entire life, I have only trusted you."
