Xie Heng, the daughter of a guilty minister, enters the palace to be a beauty in the name of "the substitute of the deposed queen". On the surface, she is a vase with big breasts and no brains, but in fact, she hides a sharp blade for revenge - her father died unjustly, and the court and the harem have already colluded. She works every step of the way, just to tear off the hypocritical mask of this deep palace.
The forces in the palace are intertwined: Concubine Wen Xian has a good reputation, but she has been secretly planning a chess game for ten years, hoping to support her nephew to subvert the imperial power; Eunuch Wei, who has powerful power in the harem, is actually the posthumous son of the deposed prince of the previous dynasty, and has endured half his life just to restore the country; Murong Li, the princess of the subjugated country, has been turned into a hostage, struggling between survival and restoration; Qin Zhao, the daughter of a war-weary military general, just wants to escape from this red wall prison.
And Xiao Che, the drunkard and drunkard, has an unknown sharpness in his eyes. Is he sincere in sealing her and pampering her, or does he regard her as a pawn to fish out the mastermind behind the scenes?
Eyes are everywhere and murderous intentions are everywhere. Xie Heng forms an alliance with Xuan Chen, supports Murong Li, and deals with various forces. When the disguise is torn, the unjust case comes to light, and the secrets of the former dynasty are intertwined with the conspiracies of the harem. Can she find a way out for her father and herself in this life-threatening game?
There is no winner in the deep palace, everyone is a chess player, only the cruel ones can make it to the end
