The heroine Su Wanyue was originally a famous dancer in the capital, and she was also the concubine of the Taifu. She devoted everything she had to paving the way to become an emperor for her beloved third prince, Ye Xuanling. However, on the day she ascended the throne, Ye Xuanling listened to the slander of her half-sister (Bai Yueguang's stand-in) and believed that Su Wanyue was the murderer of Bai Yueguang and the remnant of a traitor. He imprisoned her in the cold palace, cut out her blood to make medicine for his sister, and watched her whole family being slaughtered. Finally, on her birthday, he gave her poisonous wine, causing her to die tragically.
Unexpectedly, Su Wanyue was not dead, but was rescued by a mysterious force. Her appearance was completely changed, and she came back as the world's best strategist, "Qian Mian". She lay dormant for three years, holding a chess game that could subvert the imperial power. She returned to the imperial capital, vowing to make all those who wronged her and harmed her pay their debts with blood.
After her "death", Ye Xuanling suddenly realized that the person he loved deeply had been buried with his own hands. In the past three years, he has changed from a cold emperor to a paranoid and crazy maniac who can only sleep with Su Wanyue's cold tablet in his arms. When the "Thousand Faces" who looked exactly like Su Wanyue appeared, he frantically probed and plundered her, but he didn't know that every time he was hurt, he pushed her further away. This is a revenge drama carefully planned by the heroine, and it is also a cremation ground where the hero chases his wife in pain. In the ultimate sadomasochism and pulling, layers of conspiracies are revealed. In the end, the heroine holds the world in her hands and makes the emperor bow to her.
