The heroine Ling Shuying, who comes from a top puppet show family, resolutely steps into the palace to participate in the talent show in order to avenge her family's destruction. She does not rely on her beauty to compete for favor, but treats the entire harem as a huge stage, and all the concubines, princes, and powerful officials with evil intentions as puppets in her hands. The core joy of the heroine is that she uses the extremely meticulous observation skills learned from the puppet show, the ventriloquism imitation of Bai Sheng, and the ability to manipulate people's hearts to manipulate the enemy step by step without using any supernatural golden fingers. She can perfectly replicate anyone's words and deeds and create seamless perjury; she can use small mechanisms and props to guide the course of events and make enemies kill each other. On the road to revenge, she formed an alliance with the "blind" seventh prince Ye Xuanji, who also disguised himself in the palace and had been dormant for many years. The two joined forces and transformed from chess pieces to chess players. They eventually overturned the corrupt court, made the real murderer behind the scenes pay with blood, and climbed to the pinnacle of power together.
