An Lingrong and Ulanara Yixiu, two women who ended miserably in a deep palace fight in their previous life, opened their eyes on the same day——
One returned to the entrance of the palace where the draft was entered, holding a number plate. One was sitting on a phoenix chair in Jingren Palace, bowing his head quietly.
In the previous life, An Lingrong was the humblest chess piece in the hands of the queen, and committed suicide due to betrayal and being exploited; Yi Xiu was the mastermind behind the chess game, but ended up in the loneliness of the cold palace. Now, they are reborn with their memories intact.
When An Lingrong caught the "shouldn't have" scrutiny in the queen's eyes, and when Yi Xiu saw the "experienced" sophistication in An Lingrong, a silent trial began between the two. One was the betrayer at the bottom, and the other was the manipulator at the top. Each knew all the other's trump cards.
However, when Concubine Hua made things difficult for them, the Queen Mother put pressure on them, and the undercurrents of the previous harem surged again, they discovered that in this life, they might not have to repeat the life-and-death script.
From suspicion to temptation, from game to alliance. Two women who had taken advantage of each other decided to join forces to play a game of chess that was completely different from their previous lives. With the addition of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, this "Reborn Alliance" quietly took shape.
They no longer fight for the emperor's favor, but live for themselves.
They are no longer obsessed with the struggle between concubines and concubines, but are looking for their true selves.
When chess pieces and chess players stand side by side, the rules of the Forbidden City will be completely rewritten.
This is a story about letting go of obsession and self-salvation. When An Lingrong learns to be independent, when Yi Xiu learns to let go, and when women stop hurting each other - this cage-like palace finally gets a different wind.
