After the modern social beast Shen Qingci died suddenly while working overtime, he opened his eyes and transformed into the queen of the Dayin Dynasty who had just entered the palace for three months.
This queen came from a well-known family but did not win the emperor's favor. On her wedding night, she stayed alone in the empty room. For three months, the Kunning Palace was empty. To make matters worse, she had just caught Emperor Xiao Che entranced by Bai Yueguang's portrait, and during the dispute, she had fetal gas and died, so Shen Qingci took over this body.
Deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, dangers abound. The indifferent and suspicious emperor, the beloved concubine who hides a knife in her smile, the covetous forces of the previous dynasty, and the child in her belly that may not be saved at any time have all become problems for Shen Qingci to survive.
She doesn't understand palace fighting, but she knows how to survive. Since true feelings cannot be exchanged for mercy, then put away your sincerity and take care of yourself step by step. Faced with the emperor's indifference, she did not fight or grab, but only kept her duties as a middle palace; faced with the provocation of the concubines, she took advantage of every move to protect herself and her fetus; faced with the conspiracy in the dark, she even wanted to find out the culprit and fight back.
However, when the emperor, who always had a cold face, gradually became attracted to her calmness and intelligence that was very different from before; when the dusty past was uncovered layer by layer, and the truth about Bai Yueguang emerged, Shen Qingci discovered that she was never the only player in this deep palace chess game.
Can she stand firm in the turbulent harem? Can you protect the child in your belly? Can we find a glimmer of hope or even... A hint of unexpected warmth in our dealings with the cold-faced emperor?
