In the Dajing Dynasty, the imperial power fell by the wayside, the Queen Mother lowered her curtain, the Prime Minister took over the power, the princes competed for the heir apparent, and undercurrents surged inside and outside the court.
Shen Qingci, the direct daughter of the Taifu Mansion, was in trouble when she got her haircut. She appears to be gentle, plain and ignorant of the world, but in fact she is thoughtful and has a hidden edge. She was taught strategies to read people since she was a child, and she is well versed in the ways of survival in the court. A sudden frame-up plunged the Tutor's Mansion into crisis, forcing the concubine to shed her youth and embark on a path of intrigue.
She meets Xiao Jue, the seventh prince who is gentle and tolerant but hides behind the scenes. From testing and exploiting each other to trusting each other and fighting side by side, she fights against the hypocritical and jealous prime minister's concubine Su Qingyao, defeats the schemes of the ambitious third prince Xiao Jingyuan, and faces the Queen Mother and the prime minister's pressing step by step.
From the deep house compound to the top of the court, from the chess piece to the chess player, Shen Qingci uses softness to overcome strength, and protects the family step by step. He works hand in hand with Xiao Jue to rectify the dynasty, settle the borders, and resolve the hatred of the previous dynasty. In the end, the phoenix controls the mountains and rivers, and goes to the prosperous age with the king, writing a powerful alliance and two-way growth.
