Shen Qingyi, the daughter of the court judge of Taiyuan Hospital, has a silver needle in her hand that can determine life and death, and a medical book that can cure hundreds of poisons. She had no intention of glory, she just wanted to help the world by hanging the pot. However, her family was suddenly framed. In order to survive, she was forced to enter the most gorgeous and bloody prison in the Dasheng Dynasty - the deep palace.
When he first entered the palace, his status was low. It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. The arrogant and domineering Concubine Mei regards her as a thorn in her side, while the dignified and virtuous Empress Xie weaves an invisible web behind the scenes. Where the fragrance of the powder is strong, there is a murderous intention at every step; under the splendid beauty, there is a poison-quenching sharp blade.
Shen Qingyi remembered his father's instructions and quietly rescued people with the kindness of a doctor, but he accidentally got involved in a deeper whirlpool. The emperor's suspicion, the concubines' strife, the intrigues between the former harem and the harem... Every crisis is like diagnosing the pulse with a hanging thread, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed. She uses medical science as a shield and wisdom as a sword to find hope in desperate situations and keep her true heart in filth. The little prince she saved, the epidemic she cured, the strange poison she discovered... Her medical skills became her sharpest weapon, but it also aroused even more intense jealousy.
From an unknown talent to the master of the Sixth Palace in charge of the Phoenix Seal (or the powerful concubine/imperial concubine in the harem), Shen Qingyi's every step has been filled with thorns and blood and tears. The truth about the family's injustice, the betrayal and sacrifice of allies, and the destined fruitless sympathy with the gentle imperial doctor Gu Yunzhou (or the wise prince Xiao Yi)... The deep palace is like a chess game, and she has already changed from a chess piece to a chess player.
This is a game with life at stake. Can Shen Qingyi redress his grievances at the top of power and protect everything he cherishes?
