Shen Zhiwei, the most talented woman in Kyoto, was once the most dazzling daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Palace. She devoted everything she had to helping her beloved Gu Yanzhang climb from an unknown person to the pinnacle of power step by step, becoming the youngest prime minister of the Ning Dynasty. She thought she was married to love, but in the end she discovered that she was just a fully utilized stepping stone on his road to heaven.
After being married for ten years, what they got in exchange was that their entire family was executed, her brother died tragically, and she was imprisoned in the cold palace, and was personally drank poisoned wine by her cousin Liu Hanyan, who had risked her life to protect her. When the poison hit, Gu Yanzhang hugged his new love and whispered in her ear: "Zhiwei, your talent, your family background, and even your death are my best bargaining chips."
Once she was reborn with hatred, she returned to the eve of her marriage proposal with Gu Yanzhang.
Outside the window lattice with red lacquer and carved patterns, the gentle breeze was blowing, but she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. The infatuation and wrongful exchange in the previous life, the family's injustice and bloodshed, all turned into the cold light in his eyes at this moment.
This time she was no longer a pawn at the mercy of others. Talent is her sharp edge, strategy is her armor. She wants to tear off the hypocrite's skin, expose White Lotus's hypocrisy, and make all those who wronged her and harmed her pay with their blood!
The court is treacherous and the deep house is sinister. Just when she thought she was alone, walking alone on the edge of a knife, Xie Lin, a man who was feared in her previous life and who was in charge of the Xuanjing Division and known as the "Death of Hell", repeatedly appeared in her chess games.
