Once traveling through time, Lin Xiaoxiao became the doomed An Lingrong in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". With the script in hand, she vows to escape the fate of being a "poisonous woman" and uses modern wisdom as a blade to protect Zhen Huan, save Chun'er's life, and break Huan Yixiang's conspiracy, in an attempt to nip all tragedies in the bud.
But the chess game in the Forbidden City is never controlled by outsiders. The trajectory she desperately rewrote was constantly revised by the invisible "power of fate": Wen Yi was too weak to recover, Meizhuang was doomed, and Concubine Hua, who seemed to have been saved, was still trapped in the cage of power. And the ninety-five-year-old emperor had already seen through the alienation and deliberateness in her eyes, and his gaze gradually changed from scrutiny to passionate possession.
"You can change the outcome of others, why do you avoid me like a snake and a scorpion?" Yong Zheng's fingertips touched her brocade handkerchief embroidered with lark, and his tone was irresistible.
When the old grudges of the palace intersect with the new game, the Queen's conspiracy has not yet been revealed, and the cause of Chun Yuan's death is hidden, Lin Xiaoxiao is shocked to realize: she thought she was the chess player, but in fact she is the biggest variable that stirs up the chess game. From passively avoiding danger to taking the initiative to break the situation, from being alone to gathering alliances, she not only has to compete with fate, but also finds a way out for "An Lingrong" amidst the deep love of the emperor and the treachery of the palace. In the end, using the embroidery needle as the blade and medical skills as the shield, she embroiders a beautiful new life in the cold Forbidden City, harvesting love and sincere friendship that transcend fate.
