She is the king hiding in the dark, and he is the chess trapped in the light.
Three years ago, three hundred members of the Shen family in Lingnan died overnight. Shen Yuan hid in the dry well and watched with his own eyes the man with a black wolf flag and half a red lotus drawing his sword.
Three years later, she became the most inconspicuous concubine in the Hou family and the mastermind behind the "Xuanying Mansion", the world's number one intelligence organization.
The eldest sister ran away from marriage, so she was pushed onto a sedan chair to marry Xiao Yan, the rumored violent and bloodthirsty God of War.
The whole world is laughing at her for being a sheep in a tiger's mouth. Only she knew that this marriage was planned by her. The face under the disfigured mask was the enemy she had been chasing for three years.
But she calculated everything correctly, except that Xiao Yan found out her identity on their wedding night.
He didn't expose her, nor did he kill her. He simply pushed a secret file:
"The real culprit in the Lingnan case is a third party. If you kill me, you will regret it."
"Princess, do you want to join forces?"
From then on, the palace became a battlefield without smoke. She pretends to be sick and weak, and he pretends to be cruel; in the dark, she uses the Xuanying Mansion to turn the clouds and rain, while in the light, he uses the Night Owl Pavilion to control everything.
They tested each other and were wary of each other, but they also blocked each other's fatal blows again and again in the light of swords.
When she finally reached the pinnacle of power, the whole court knelt down and worshiped "Long live my emperor"——
But she saw the man whom she had hated to the core, kneeling on the ground outside the palace, taking off his sword and handing over the military talisman:
"This world belongs to you. I just need to stand behind you."
