Shen Han, the legitimate daughter of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, disguised herself as a man in order to find out the truth behind her brother's death in battle, and became the "Little General Shen" with great military exploits.
After returning to Beijing and receiving a title, she became a cold-faced and taciturn guard of the emperor, but she fell into the deep eyes of the regent Xie Heng. This powerful prince was gentle and smiling, but it sent a chill down her spine.
He praised her for her loyalty and bravery, gave her authority, and placed her in the center of the court. Test after test, secret plot after plot, he was like a hunter, patiently peeling away her layers of disguise.
"General Shen's hands are good at holding a knife and writing." His fingertips brushed the thin calluses of her palms, and his smile did not reach his eyes.
"Your Highness, you praise me so much." She narrowed her eyes, hiding all the turmoil.
When her brother's death was involved in the secret case of collaborating with the enemy, and when the cold arrows were aimed at her back, Xie Heng protected her behind her in the blazing light of the sword, and his warm breath brushed against her ears: "I will decide whether the king's people live or die."
The vest is about to fall, and the power is like a net. Does he want to expose or protect? This chess game started with deception, and every step is startling. Who is the one who holds the key?
