Chu Zhaohua, the most violent and arrogant eldest legitimate princess of the Great Jing dynasty.
Cruel and ruthless, decisive and deadly, she runs rampant through the palace, daring to slap the empress and defy the emperor to his face.
No one knows that for years she has lain low in the depths of the palace. All her life, what she has sought has never been love or splendor, but the vast empire itself.
The path to imperial power is stained with blood at every step. The palace and the court are both game boards.
To ascend the throne, she disguises herself as a man and plots at every turn, deliberately getting close to Shen Jingci, the chancellor’s legitimate son, whom she regards as the most crucial piece in her bid for the throne.
By chance, a modern university student’s soul transmigrates into Shen Jingci. He wants nothing more than to avoid conflict and lie flat in peace, abandoning literature for business and living far from the world, but he is drawn against his will into the perilous struggle over the succession.
What he does not know is that the original soul, who has loved the princess for years, still slumbers within his body.
The modern soul mocks the original for being love-struck, but in the end cannot escape the fate of falling for her too.
