The ninth princess, Chen Li, was born in a cold palace and grew up in a high wall. Her mother is a wronged princess of the Li clan, and her father is an emperor who has forgotten her. Her life was supposed to end in silence in the dry well and the fragrance of medicine, until a marriage decree pushed her into the center of the storm.
The Qiang people wanted to marry the most favored fourth princess, but they got an abandoned daughter in the cold palace.
Assassination, poisoning, framing, lies... The road to marriage is filled with murder every step of the way.
Chen Li discovered that he was not only a chess piece, but also a sacrifice - a perfect excuse to ignite the flames of war.
But she was not willing to be sacrificed.
Holding the relics of the Li clan and possessing miraculous medical skills, she and Wang Mochen, the forbearing son of the prime minister, and Gu Yezhou, the upright son of the minister, dealt with the conspiracy and sincerity.
From the cold palace to the Qiang grasslands, from the deep palace intrigues to the border wars, she must not only survive, but also uncover the deep injustice of her mother's clan and tear through the lies of careerists.
"I am neither anyone's substitute nor anyone's tribute. I am Chen Li, the last bloodline of the Li clan, and the princess of Da Chen who should not be forgotten."
