In the middle of the Dajing Dynasty, when the imperial power was declining, relatives were monopolizing power, royal families were coveting, and civil servants were vacillating, Shen Yanci, the daughter of a criminal official, became anonymous and started begging for a living from the bottom of the capital. She has no family background, no military power, and no attachments. However, with her extraordinary powers of observation, meticulous logic, and deep insight into people's hearts, she uses "intelligence" as a blade to gradually build an intelligence network covering both the government and the public - "Tingzhu Society". She dealt with the three major forces: uncle Xiao Jin, King Jing Zhao Heng, and chief minister Pei Yan. She used their strength to break the situation and counterattack, and uncovered the truth about her father's unjust case in life and death games, and finally smashed the rebellion conspiracy and reestablished the order of the court. The book rejects house fighting, female rivalry, and male redemption, and focuses on the heroine's control of destiny with wisdom and planning, realizing her original intention of "pacifying the world with intelligence" and becoming the true guardian of the rules behind the scenes of the Dajing Dynasty.
