Yun Zhao, the princess of Yongping County, was innocent and kind in her previous life and mistrusted others. She was eventually killed by her fiancé and her sister, and the family was overthrown. After her rebirth, she decided to cut off her love affair and devote herself to a court dominated by men, relying on her past life memories and political wisdom beyond her time. Starting from a despised clan daughter, she used palace power, economic innovation and border strategy to gradually accumulate power and eliminate political enemies. Her goal was to reach the pinnacle of power and protect her family and people. However, her life plan was completely disrupted - the subjugated prince Xie Wujiu, who was supposed to die in the hatred of the enemy country, sneaked into the capital as a hostage and even approached her with the appearance of "sick" and "harmless". Xie Wujiu bears the blood feud of destroying his country and has a gloomy and paranoid personality. He recognizes Yun Zhao as the "key person" who caused his plan to be exposed in his previous life. He originally wanted to eliminate or use her, but in repeated confrontations, he was attracted by her independent, clear-headed and tenacious soul, and developed a twisted possessive desire. While secretly planning to restore the country, he frantically intervened in Yun Zhao's life and career, weaving a web of tenderness and threats, trying to monopolize the most dazzling star in his palm. While Yun Zhao is climbing the road to power, he must deal with this most difficult and dangerous opponent. In the process of scheming, redeeming and hurting each other, the two gradually uncover a deeper conspiracy in the past life, and jointly face a huge crisis sweeping the world.
