Introduction to the work
Shen Zhiwei, a senior student at the Law School, wrote his thesis on "Research on the Qing Dynasty Court Legal System in the Biography of Zhen Huan". One night when she stayed up late to catch up on her thesis, she woke up and found that she had been transported into the Legend of Zhen Huan - becoming the concubine who had no sense of existence.
Born in the Three Banners of the Manchu Army, she was granted the title of concubine three years after entering the palace, and was promoted at an absurdly fast rate. But the character of Concubine Zhen is just a background in the original work: she helped Concubine Qi give false testimony, took the lead in bullying An Lingrong, and finally died in silence in Shoukang Palace. It's called "survive to the end" at best, and "no one remembers" at worst.
Shen Zhiwei doesn't want to be the backdrop.
Her only weapon is the 30,000-word thesis in her mind - she knows how Queen Chunyuan died, how An Lingrong went to destruction step by step, and knows every card in the queen's hand and every move made by Zhen Huanbu. She thought that as long as she kept a low profile and stayed away from right and wrong, she would be able to survive to the finale unscathed.
But the Queen came to her first.
Kang Changzai pestered her.
Zhen Huan also stopped her at the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and said, "How come I haven't seen you before?"
Shen Zhiwei suddenly realized: In this cannibal harem, knowing too much is a sin in itself.
She wanted to shut up.
But someone wouldn't shut her up.
