Shen Mingdeng's life was a fire born from dust.
She was born in a concubine, was framed by her eldest sister and became a maid in the palace, and suffered all the cold shoulder and humiliation. On the thin line between life and death, she realized that the most worthless thing in the world is the tears of the weak.
She learned to endure, to laugh, and to light a lamp in the darkest night.
When she entered the palace again, she used intelligence as a blade and tenderness as a net to control every step.
Everyone in the palace thought she was playing chess, but they didn't know that she had already played chess.
The regent was cold-hearted, but in game after game, he saw that her smile concealed an edge and her softness concealed a knife.
He asked: "Shen Mingdeng, what do you want?"
She smiled lightly: "All I want is for everyone who owes me to pay with their blood."
The palace is deep with red walls, and the power is like a net.
From a humble concubine, she finally became a beacon that shines through the long night.
