Three years ago, everyone in the Zhennan Hou Mansion was massacred, and 376 lives were spilled in Caishikou. The eldest daughter Shen Qingci was imprisoned in the palace by Emperor Xiao Yan in the name of "sister-in-law" and became a bird trapped in a golden cage.
She hated the man who slaughtered her entire family with a decree, and even more hated that she could only survive under his charity. But when Xiao Yan said lightly that "Shen Mu is still alive", she had to put on a mask of meekness and survive in the conspiracy and suspicion.
Choosing a son-in-law, making a marriage, secret fights in the court, and murderous plots in the harem - she is both a chess piece and the chess player. When she thought she was just enduring the humiliation to find out the truth, she discovered that the man who imprisoned her had deeper pain and secrets hidden in his eyes than she did.
"If one day you know the whole truth, will you still hate me?"
"That depends on what the truth is."
A story about imprisonment and escape, hatred and redemption, calculation and sincerity. When all the fog clears, who is the trapped beast in the cage, and who can truly break out of the cage?
——The sadomasochistic love is deep and has constant reversals. Let's watch the heroine's comeback from a desperate prisoner to the master of the chess game.
