She was once the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house, and she was a noble woman. Once the family is broken and everyone is dead, they fall into the dust.
In the twenty-third year of Jingyuan, it was the ninth day of the first lunar month.
The city of Zhongdu was decorated with lights, but the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion was so quiet that you could hear the sound of snow melting.
Shen Luan stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror who was about to have haircuts. She didn't know that this was the last scene of her life.
The moment Jin Yisi broke through the door, she fell from the clouds into the mire.
Those who collaborate with the enemy and treason will have their entire family executed.
She watched her younger brother being dragged away, watched her grandmother faint on the spot, and watched her former glory vanish into thin air.
She pleads guilty.
One person's sin changes his family's livelihood.
He was exiled three thousand miles to the north and could never return to Beijing.
The former prime minister's daughter has become a prisoner in a bitter cold land.
But she didn't accept her fate.
In the dark prison, someone was planning for her.
On the snowy road of exile, someone secretly escorted him.
In the Bitter Cold Mountains of the North, where dripping water turned into ice, she remained anonymous and lay dormant, waiting for the time to come.
She said——
"One day, I will walk back to Zhongdu City with dignity."
"Let everyone know that the Shen family has been wronged."
But what she didn't know was,
What kind of secret is hidden in the heart of that childhood sweetheart who helped her when she was at her lowest?
What kind of entanglement does that seemingly dandy young master from the North have with Zhongdu City?
And what does her mother's words before her death, "You are different from others," really mean...
Is she a chess piece or a chess player? Is she an orphan from the prime minister's house, or does she have another secret?
A chess game of power and deep love. See how she uses her intelligence as an edge to climb out of the mire and take charge of the world.
