[Cross-dressing as a woman + Substitute + Revenge + Political intrigue]
A Tan, who grew up in the countryside, had always known she had another name: Shen Cangzhu. She thought the secret would be buried with her in the earth, until the day a man in a dark fox-fur cloak appeared and drew her into a carefully orchestrated coup.
She is a pearl lost among the common folk;
He is a treacherous minister reviled by all;
For the peace of the realm, she has no choice but to take the seat of power;
To avenge a blood feud, he must become the wicked minister’s henchman;
She treads on thin ice in the imperial palace;
He sinks deeper into the abyss, all the while painfully aware;
Through one crisis after another in the inner palace, the inexperienced girl gradually grows into a capable ruler;
At every step, danger closes in, and the hard-hearted man becomes her captive.
