Red gates and towering walls, gold and jade for locks.
Beneath all the splendor and finery lurk bone-deep malice and deadly traps at every turn.
Lin Jingtan, the Shen family's matriarch, sits calmly in the inner quarters, hoping only to live out her days in peace.
But the Su family has secretly planted its pawns, hiding schemes in medicine and treachery in the bedchamber, using heirs as pieces and illness as a blade in an attempt to control the entire household.
A helpless young woman becomes a sacrifice; a good doctor is trapped by their own weakness.
Within the confines of this deep mansion, no one is free to act as they wish.
Since the world is cold and the great houses are heartless,
she will shed her gentle nature, take up the game, and break the deadlock.
She will root out the traitors, dismantle the poison plots, and resist outside schemes.
In this blood-soaked inner courtyard, she will protect herself, keep her family standing,
and make every ill-intentioned schemer pay the price.
