Shen Qingyan, the daughter of the guilty minister, entered the palace with a low status. She was jealous of the princess because of her beauty. She was beaten with a cane until she was about to die. She accidentally activated the mind-reading gold finger. With this ability, she saw through the sympathy of the palace maid and the temptation of the mammy, and escaped from a desperate situation. She also outsmarted the bottom of the Huanyi Bureau, and first met Xiao Jingyan, the sickly but thoughtful Prince Jing.
In the palace, Shen Qingyan uses her mind-reading skills to gain insight into people's hearts. While avoiding the murderous intentions of the princess, she skillfully resolves a series of frame-ups such as theft, collaboration with the enemy, and poisoning. She gradually approaches the center of power from serving tea in front of the emperor to a palace maid; On the one hand, he and Jamel Xiao established trust from each other and formed an alliance. They jointly collected evidence of the Crown Princess's corruption and framed Zhongliang, and finally overthrew the Crown Princess in the confrontation at the Jinluan Palace, clearing away some of the grievances of the family.
As the princelings counterattacked and the prime minister's power surfaced, the struggle in the court intensified. Shen Qingyan transformed into Prince Jing's "intelligence officer" and "strategist", remotely assisted in court debates, and obtained evidence in espionage battles. She also revealed the connection between her father's old case and the murder of Prince Jing's mother and concubine, directly pointing to the shocking conspiracy between the prime minister and the current emperor. From the desperate counterattack at the autumn hunting scene to the revelation of the secret passage in the cold palace, the two people's emotions heated up during the test of life and death. Finally, on the eve of the enthronement ceremony, they subdued the emperor with a shocking reversal of suspended animation, ending the bloody whirlpool of the imperial power struggle.
After Jamel Xiao ascended the throne, in order to fulfill his promise to Shen Qingyan, he resolutely gave up the throne to the wise king of the clan, and joined hands with Shen Qingyan, who had relieved himself of the heavy burden, to retreat to the mountains and forests. From then on, they became an ordinary couple.
