In the third year of Yong'an in the Liang Dynasty, Shen Hengzhi, the daughter of a criminal minister, was imprisoned in Yeting and became the lowest Huanyi slave.
She thought that her life was just to live under the red wall until she grew old, but she didn't want to be involved in the most secret whirlpool of the palace - the current regent Ji Zhao, a man with overwhelming power and decisive killing, actually personally brought a woman in coat to the imperial court.
Everyone thought she was his pawn. Her enemies regard her as a thorn in their side, and her allies suspect that she is a honey trap. Even she herself feels that this is just a deal where everyone gets what they need.
But when he asked her under the moon: "Are you willing to be the moon that belongs only to me deep in the red wall?"
Shen Hengzhi was shocked to realize that from beginning to end in this chess game, she was neither a player nor a pawn.
She was his disaster.
And what he wanted to cross was never the world, but her.
