Shen Qingli, a modern strategic analyst, is the only surviving legitimate daughter of the Shen family who was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and her entire family was executed. She was burdened with a blood feud, holding half a volume of the incomplete "Mountains and Rivers", starting from the place of exile, breaking into the court and the business world as a woman, building an intelligence network, establishing a workshop, and becoming the person behind the scenes. She is determined not only to avenge her grievances, but also to uncover a secret that can subvert the dynasty. Finally, in this era of male supremacy, she finds a third way - not to compete for favor in the harem, not to dress up as a man, but to create a "Qingyuntai" where talented people from all over the world, both men and women, can display their ambitions.
