Scheming noble daughter × obsessive, ruthless Prince Jing | Political maneuvering | Reborn for revenge Shen Zhiwei died on a winter night in the Cold Palace. The so-called deep love was all manipulation; every promise of support was a scheme. In her previous life, she helped the crown prince ascend the throne, only to see the entire Shen family executed. Reborn at seventeen, she casts aside her foolish romanticism. She makes the aristocracy her pieces on the board and vows to repay blood with blood! The road to revenge is full of thorns. She must conceal her sharpness, swallow her hatred, smile sweetly at her enemies, and plan every move amid the undercurrents. Shen Zhiwei believes this is the only way to protect her family and survive in this ruthless capital. Until she discovers that even the secret letters between the Wei family and the crown prince have been intercepted by Prince Jing, Xiao Jue, and placed into her hands by him. “Playing chess,” he whispers in her ear, his fingertip tracing the jade hairpin clutched in her fist, “the deeper your roots, the more secure your game.” The crown prince is eaten up with regret, dreaming of rekindling their old love; Xiao Jue relentlessly pursues her with obsessive devotion: “I don’t want the throne. I’ll protect the Shen family for you. You can only be mine.” Shen Zhiwei gives him a cool look. “I’ll control my own game. Prove you’re worthy, then we’ll talk.” Political intrigue is the backbone, revenge is the blade, and two formidable players face off. No foolish romanticism! Watch her, a woman alone, turn the tide and shape the capital with her own hand!
