Shen Zangbi, the legitimate daughter of the official minister, has a soul from the modern workplace elite. She is well aware of the principle that "the trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind," so she chooses to hide her edge and make a calm plan. She looks gentle and quiet, but in fact she is strategizing, secretly accumulating strength, using medical skills as a blade and human hearts as a chess piece, step by step in the turbulent court and harem, paving the way to power for herself and her allies.
Su Rao, the direct daughter of the minister of Guanglu Temple, also came from modern times. She believed that "princes and generals would rather live together", and tried to challenge the feudal order with radical modern ideas. She made a high-profile statement, but repeatedly hit the wall and became a clear target and pawn in the power game.
As the gears of fate turned, Xiao Zhuo, the prince of Zhenbei, a scheming ally who also concealed his true identity, appeared in Shen Zangbi's life. The two became "accomplices", one in the open and the other in the dark, working hand in hand to assist the benevolent prince against the suspicious old emperor and the covetous King Qi.
In this era of supremacy of imperial power, how will Shen Zangbi use the wisdom and structure that transcends thousands of years to deal with various forces? What kind of sparks will her alliance with Xiao Zhuo collide with? And where will Su Rao's radical path ultimately lead her?
This is the ultimate game about survival, power and ideals. See how the chess player hidden behind the scenes quietly makes moves and determines the outcome! (This is an opening chapter for newbies, so don't comment if you don't like it)

I've read part of the plot but haven't finished it yet. So far, it's pretty good. The plot is not exaggerated, and it's very logical. Especially if you like ancient romances, this book is worth reading.
