In order to escape the persecution of her aunt and sister, Shen Qingci, the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo, took the initiative to enter the palace. She was granted the title of Talent for the first time and lived in the remote "Tingzhuxuan". In the deep palace, suppression by high-ranking concubines and plots by low-ranking ladies followed one after another. She relied on her poison knowledge and chess game strategy to save herself from danger many times.
When she meets the emperor Xiao Yi by chance, she is neither humble nor arrogant, neither clinging to others nor clinging to him. Instead, she solves a chess game and saves him, which makes Xiao Yi look at her differently. Faced with Concubine Shu's difficulties and Concubine Xian's hypocrisy, Shen Qingci no longer tolerated it: he exposed Concubine Shu's plot to poison the pregnant concubine, tore off Concubine Xian's "virtuous" mask, took advantage of the opportunity to be promoted, and gradually gained a foothold.
Xiao Yi saw her circling around the harem, and he admired her wisdom, but also felt sorry for her tenacity, and gradually fell in love with her. From the initial temptation, to the later fight against the undercurrents of the court and the harem, the two wrote a chapter of pure love in the deep palace with red walls, "the emperor's heart is the only one favored, and he only protects your safety".
