A Deadly Game of Intrigue

Born into another world, Lin Jinxiu was adopted by her grandfather as a child, who passed on to her everything he knew about political intrigue and strategy. She had no idea that this gentle, refined old man was none other than the Chu Prince, the emperor’s own brother, who had been living among the common folk! Before the late emperor died, he intended to pass the throne to the Chu Prince. But the crown prince discovered his plan and joined forces with the Chu Prince’s fiancée and personal bodyguard. Set up by his own kin, the Chu Prince fell from the heights of power into the mud.

Bearing her grandfather’s deep-seated vengeance, Lin Jinxiu uses her extraordinary talents to move among powerful officials. She helps the elite escape the threat of extermination while secretly laying plans to expose the truth of what happened back then, one step at a time. She thinks she holds the blade of vengeance in her hands, but she has no idea that every step she takes lies within the game her grandfather carefully set in motion. When the truth finally crashes down like thunder, she realizes she is nothing more than a pawn in her grandfather’s plan to restore his power.

In this deadly game of strategy, who is the one moving the pieces? See how Lin Jinxiu breaks free, is reborn, and writes her own legend!
