The situation in the Daliang court is treacherous. Situ Qiaocheng, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, has been studying in the palace with her father since she was a child. She is extremely intelligent, but due to a palace coup, the whole family is involved in the whirlpool of power.
The emperor fell seriously ill, the prince was deposed, and nine kings seized the throne. Amidst the bloody storm, Situ Qiaocheng relied on his extraordinary courage and talent to make his way step by step in the undercurrent of the court. She disguised herself as a man and entered the court as an official, but unexpectedly got close to the cold-faced and iron-blooded seventh prince, Xiao Yan.
He is a decisive candidate for the crown prince in everyone's eyes, and she is a young strategist who is gradually showing his talent in the court. When the identity is revealed, when feelings secretly arise, which one is more important, country or sincerity?
"In this life, I, Situ Qiao, do not ask for a phoenix crown or a plume. I am only willing to assist the Mingjun to bring peace to the world. But if that Mingjun is you, I am willing to give everything I have to you."
Plots are like chess, and people's hearts are unpredictable. A bet in which the country is at stake, and a deep love that transcends the shackles of identity.
