In the twenty-seventh year of Yong'an, the whole family of Zhenguo's palace was massacred, and Queen Shen Qingyan was given poisonous wine on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason. The person who personally pushed the Shen family into the abyss was her husband whom she had loved for three years - the current emperor Xiao Che.
On a snowy night in the cold palace, she was desperately rescued by her cousin Xie Heng, whom she had never met before. From then on, she remained anonymous and lay dormant for three years. She shed her red makeup, refined poisons, studied medicine, and practiced strategizing and martial arts. The former delicate queen turned into a revengeful blade.
Three years later, she was re-drafted into the palace as Su Qing, an orphan from Jiangnan. Sui Yuxuan's silence, Liu Guifei's difficulties, and Xiao Che's temptations are all pawns in her chess game. She worked step by step, leveraging her strength to stir up the storm amid the shadows of swords and intrigues in the palace.
When the truth was peeled back layer by layer, she discovered that behind the Shen family's injustice, there was an even more shocking secret; and the identity of the cousin who silently protected her was by no means as simple as it seemed.
The deep palace is like a prison, and the human heart is like a ghost. She uses blood as ink and hatred as a front, vowing to make all her enemies pay with blood!
