Xiao Yu'er married Dorgon with a longing for a hero, but on the wedding night, she discovered that she was just the substitute for his sister Da Yu'er, Bai Yueguang. Three years of warmth and coldness had exhausted her enthusiasm and turned her heart into despair.
A wolf crying in the snow, her broken beauty suddenly fell into the eyes of the emperor Huang Taiji. That glance was a man's admiration for the beauty, and it was also the overlord's scrutiny of his prey. With an imperial edict, the king seized his wife and forced her into the palace, not only to satisfy his selfish desires, but also to attack his political enemy Dorgon and verify the ownership of the "Feng Ming".
From then on, Xiao Yuer was involved in the emotional whirlpool and political chess game. She sank in pain under Huang Taiji's domineering and precise love, became soberly desperate, and bloomed in despair. Dorgon, who suddenly wakes up, and Da Yuer, who is cold-eyed in the palace, make this four-corner game even more turbulent.
From a substitute at the mercy of others to a chess player, how can Xiao Yu'er find her own way out of the ruins of love and the cracks between power?
