In the turbulent years between the Qin and Han dynasties, the realm is in turmoil, and various factions vie for supremacy.
Mo Ziyu may be a delicate woman, but she harbors the ambition to change the world and possesses keen insight.
Leng Chengyun is well-read, ambitious, and devoted to the people. The two meet amid the chaos of war and are drawn to one another, supporting each other along the way.
Yet their path to realizing their ideals is strewn with obstacles. Seeking to protect their own interests, the various factions see them as a thorn in their side and scheme against them at every turn. Because she is a woman, Mo Ziyu's abilities are constantly questioned. Meanwhile, the complicated circumstances of the battlefield and the court can cause Leng Chengyun to make poor decisions out of concern for Ziyu.
At a critical moment, Mo Ziyu activates the Palace Intrigue System. She completes missions, saves up skills, and exchanges them for items. But the System has its own agenda, and it plays a game of its own with the protagonist. Court struggles change in an instant. If she fails to complete missions in time, she could face the grave consequence of being utterly defeated by her enemies.
The antagonists also exploit their power to spread rumors, sowing misunderstandings between the protagonists and eroding their trust in each other. In the struggle for power, they must make the difficult choice between doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals and upholding justice. They may also have to pay the heavy price of losing something precious in order to win.
Can they overcome their predicament, rise to the pinnacle of power in this chaotic age, change the course of the realm, and write a legendary life?
