The heroine Su Jinyan, who was born into a wealthy family, was executed by the whole family because of the injustice committed by her family. She entered the palace as a palace maid to survive, vowing to find out the truth and avenge her family. When she was struggling at the bottom, she relied on her scheming and insight far beyond ordinary people to make progress step by step, growing from a little palace maid who was bullied by others to an aunt in charge of the palace affairs and possessing power in the inner court.
During this period, she formed a secret alliance with the prince Xiao Wujiu who was also trying to survive in the cracks and disguised himself as weak. The two supported each other, tested each other, and eventually became each other's only trust and weakness. I (Su Jinyan) took advantage of the convenience of being in the harem to become Xiao Wujiu's eyes and sharp blade, clearing obstacles for him, delivering information, and stirring up troubles; while Xiao Wujiu provided me with shelter in the former court and became my most solid backing on the road to revenge.
This is a revenge story that has no golden fingers and relies entirely on resourcefulness and ruthlessness to walk on the tip of a knife. The highlight is how the heroine, from a first-person perspective, is drawn into the center of the vortex of inheriting the throne step by step from an avenger, and finally pushes a yandere prince who is despised by everyone to the top of power, and completes self-salvation and emotional choices in the process.
