The top actress Chu Xiaoxiao was framed by her best friend and capital on the night she reached the peak of her career. She was ruined and died of hatred.
When she opened her eyes again, she turned out to be Lin Yingtang, the good-for-nothing legitimate daughter who could be bullied by everyone in the Prime Minister's Palace of the Dajing Dynasty - her mother died young, her stepmother persecuted her, she was infamous, and she was forced to marry into a fiery pit to rejoice.
But this time, she was no longer a pawn to be manipulated.
The acting skills, public relations methods, psychological wisdom, and management strategies honed in her previous life have all become her weapons to break the situation in ancient times.
She pretended to be tolerant and secretly weaved a web: becoming financially independent, building a team, manipulating public opinion, and befriending powerful people, and step by step she transformed from an abandoned daughter of the Prime Minister into the most dazzling and strange woman in the capital.
She met Xiao Heng, the current regent - a man with a cold appearance and a burning ideal of reform in his heart.
From testing each other to fighting side by side, from alliance of interests to trusting each other in life and death. Together, they solved strange cases, outsmarted the court, and implemented reforms. In the midst of the bloody storm, they made a vow to "side by side in this life, and paint the mountains and rivers together."
However, when her career expanded from the capital to the whole country, and when her education reform touched the millennium ethics, a deeper enemy surfaced - a noble concubine who was mysteriously connected to her death in her previous life, and actually possessed a strange power that transcended time and space...
This is an ultimate showdown from a house fight to a court fight to one that spans time and space.
It is also the story of how a woman, in the most depressive era, used her most modern soul to tear open the sky and redefine the "peak" for herself and for thousands of women.
She doesn't want the phoenix crown, she wants to rewrite the rules.
She doesn't want to be a vassal, she wants to be her own queen.
This idea, this logic~
