Xin Zhi, a fox girl from Qingqiu, sneaked into the imperial capital to retrieve a treasure left behind by her clan. However, in an accident, she was involved in the whirlpool of corruption in water transport, accidentally killing key figures and inadvertently taking away key evidence.
She wanted to escape quietly, but instead she came into the sight of Shen Jue, the Governor of the Imperial City.
Shen Jue, the Imperial City's Admiral and Chief of Ceremonies holds the palm of his hand, holding the power in his hand to change the clouds and rain.
In the gambling den, he made a three-day appointment with a game and brought her into the governor's mansion that looked luxurious but was actually meticulous at every step.
There are no torture racks and shackles in the house, only silent suppression and gentle temptation.
She uses weakness as her armor to deal with the situation;
He used power and intrigue as a network and gradually closed it.
Until the past of the Fox clan's destruction a hundred years ago was revealed, until she discovered that behind the account book she stole, not only water transport was involved, but also a chess game that shook the government and the opposition.
She was the variable that accidentally broke in, and she was also the sharpest chess piece in his hand.
And in this game that focuses on people's hearts, power, and old blood feuds, the initial use and calculation have quietly changed.
