According to an imperial edict, Shen Qingyan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, was forcibly brought into the palace and named a virtuous concubine.
Everyone knows that the Shen family is a noble family, but they don't know that this "favor" is actually a prison - she is the perfect hostage for the Shen family that the emperor uses to contain the powerful master.
They don't know that this supple body contains a soul that has returned from hell.
In her previous life, she witnessed the entire Shen family beheaded, watched her children die tragically, and finally ended up with three feet of white silk.
Now, she stepped into this golden cage with a smile.
The palace is as deep as the sea, with murderous intent at every step.
She rescued the fallen imperial doctor and unearthed the dust-laden palace secrets; she recruited talented craftsmen to create a stunning weapon that surpassed the times; and she formed an unintentional good relationship and turned the amnesiac top master into the sharpest secret chess piece in her hands.
The former dynasty was turbulent, and the harem was full of swords and shadows.
She spins the web in the conspiracy and plays the chess in the killing game.
The tyrant on the dragon throne thought he was in control of everything, but he didn't know that the person he personally introduced into the palace was the chess player who overturned his empire.
"Your Majesty," she held up the blood-stained phoenix seal with a smile as bright as a flower, "it's time for someone else to sit on this dragon chair."
