Gu Qingli died at the hands of the emperor she had personally helped ascend the throne.
Lu Qingci was reborn into an era of powerful clans and a weakened imperial court.
Bearing the memories and pain of her past life, she went into hiding in the Shen residence, watching the decaying world around her with cold detachment.
She thought she had been reborn for revenge, but as she sought the truth, she was drawn into an even deeper whirlpool.
The powerful clans jostled for dominance, seeing her as a pawn and an obstacle;
foreign forces lurked at the borders, seeking to profit from the chaos as their iron hooves swept south;
when a national crisis and a palace coup struck at the same time, she finally understood how small personal grudges were beside the fate of the realm.
This is a story of betrayal and redemption, private affections and public duty, destruction and rebirth.
Watch as the heroine, Lu Qingci, makes her move in this brocade-bright yet shadow-dark night, playing the game of power called All Under Heaven.
The beginning is okay, but I feel like the world view hasn't been laid out yet.
