She is the most inconspicuous concubine in the Shangshu Mansion. She is weak in front of others, but she is strategizing behind others, turning every house fight into a chess game, and quietly eradicating dissidents.

A calculated marriage contract bound the two people together. She decided to play the "innocent" role to the end and become a little white flower in his eyes who didn't understand the world. He would patiently listen to her "unintentional" complaints and respond lightly to her "childish" requests.
She thought everything was perfect, but she didn't know that he saw every "right" counterattack and every "coincidental" layout she made.
