Su Qingruan (the heroine) was abandoned by her father in the countryside when she was a child. She lived alone for sixteen years, and finally returned to the capital in her late teens.
She came back not for glory, but to find out the truth about her mother's unjust death and pay for her debt with blood.
When she first returned to Beijing, she was careful at every step, dealing with her hypocritical stepmother, thinking that it was just a secret affair in the back house and a grudge between the family.
But as the truth is revealed, she is shocked to realize that her mother's death was never a simple murder of jealousy - her stepmother is just a pawn, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is actually the current queen who holds all the power in the palace.
The fatal secret that my mother discovered back then led to the murder.
And Su Qingruan didn't even know her true identity, and she almost became a puppet of power.
From the fight in the back house to the whirlpool of the court, Su Qingruan couldn't help but get involved in the huge wave of the prince's fight for the heir.

He is the eldest prince, Xiao Jingyuan, who holds a large number of soldiers and wields great power, but he is cruel, bloodthirsty, paranoid, and almost crazy.

That scene was engraved in his bones and became a lifelong shadow. Only blood can calm him, and only control can give him a sense of security.
