In her previous life, Shen Xiaoyue was a queen that was admired by everyone, and her mother cared for the world. However, she was poisoned and killed by her own sister and the emperor. Only when she died did she realize that she was just a pawn sent to the palace by her family, and that her whole life had been a mistake.
When she woke up again, she became Xiao Meiren, a concubine who had been abandoned by her family and had just entered the palace. Facing the familiar harem, hypocritical family, and the young emperor who was affectionate on the surface but cold on the inside, Shen Xiaoyue smiled. In this life, she no longer wants to be anyone's chess piece, she wants to be her own chess player.
