In an accident, Su Qingwan, a modern business negotiation expert, traveled through time and became the most unpopular concubine in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Her father is cold, her aunt is ruthless, and her sister is making things difficult for her. She even has to rely on calculations to get a bowl of hot soup.
He originally wanted to make a low-key living, but when he rescued his stepsister from a siege at a banquet, he unexpectedly showed his extraordinary planning and eloquence. He was immediately spotted by the Queen Mother and was selected to serve as the companion of the Crown Princess in the East Palace. From that moment on, she was forced to get involved in the undercurrent of the prince's succession.
The prince is gentle but weak, the second prince is ambitious, and the third prince is scheming. What really made Su Qingwan fearful was the mysterious fourth prince, Murong Heng, who seemed to be weak but actually had a deep palace. He watched her step by step in the palace with cold eyes, but always quietly took action when she was in the most danger.
Su Qingwan relied on his extraordinary wisdom and negotiation skills to grow from a chess piece to a chess player in the harem. She helped the prince to stabilize the East Palace and dealt with various forces, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into the trap carefully laid by Murong Heng.
When she finally reached the pinnacle of power, she discovered that what she thought was a step-by-step process was just the road to the throne paved for her by that man.
And she is his only obsession.
