The heroine Shen Zhiwei was originally a noble daughter of a general, but was banished to the cold palace after her family was framed. In order to survive, she took the initiative to reach an agreement with Pei Yan, a lowly but scheming enemy proton, pretending to be in love and leveraging each other's strength. She used her extreme control and meticulous thinking to weave an intelligence network in the harem, while Pei Yan operated secretly in the outer court. The two of them acted as real people in the crisis-ridden palace, and their emotions and interests were deeply tied. In the end, Shen Zhiwei fought back from the shadow and pursuit of the former emperor (ex-boyfriend), and joined forces with Pei Yan to launch a palace coup. Not only did she clear up the grievances of herself and her family, but she also promoted Pei Yan to the throne. She became the person behind the scenes who truly controlled the affairs of the court, completing her destiny-defying change from "a deposed queen" to an "invisible ruler".
