Shen Qingci died on the day of her wedding to the prince Li Chengyu - weeping at the red candle, poisonous wine piercing her intestines. She looked at her "good best friend" Liu Rumei holding the prince's hand, and the fake legitimate daughter Shen Yuerong holding the poisonous wine and laughing at her stupidity: "You and your collaborating family should have been my stepping stone!" On her deathbed, she caught a glimpse of the cold-faced prince Xiao Jue riding his horse into the palace, but she only had time to see him being stabbed through the heart by random arrows. Opening his eyes again, Shen Qingci returned to the three days before her wedding - her mother's jade pendant was still there, the entire Shen family was still there, Liu Rumei's hypocrisy was not exposed, Shen Yuerong had just been taken back to the house, and Li Chengyu hadn't had time to coax her with sweet words. In this life, she put away all her forbearance, used the memory of rebirth as a blade, and used power as a chess piece: she monopolized the "Drunk Flowing Clouds" rouge formula, weaved an intelligence network covering both the government and the public, trained dead soldiers and secret guards, and dragged the enemies of her previous life into hell one by one; she was no longer a substitute daughter-in-law at the mercy of others, but a manipulator who stirred up troubles. Even Xiao Jue, who died for her in her previous life, became her most evenly matched "opponent" on the chessboard. From the concubine's legitimate daughter to the powerful queen, Shen Qingci followed every step: The prince begged for forgiveness on his knees? She coldly threw down the poisoned wine; Liu Rumei became a prisoner? She handed over the torture tools with a smile; Shen Yuerong wanted to steal her identity? She ruined her reputation in public! But during the game, the cold-faced prince leaned into her ear and chuckled: "Shen Qingci, I will take over your chess strategy - why don't we join forces to overthrow this decadent imperial family?"
