During the Yongning period of Liang Dynasty, Shen Qingyi, the daughter of the fifth-rank censor, was forced to enter the palace for the draft. She has no prominent family background, no protection from the Queen Mother, and the only thing she can rely on is her own mind.
When she first entered the palace, she just wanted to live in peace. However, the Taifu's daughter Zhao Xueyuan pressed forward step by step, making her understand that in this deep palace, if she didn't fight, she would be waiting for death. From talent to queen, from innocent girl to strategizing master of the harem, Shen Qingyi struggled to move forward between power and emotion.
This is a war without smoke. Some people poisoned them, some framed them, some people smiled with knives hidden in their faces, and some people trusted each other with their lives. When the truth was revealed layer by layer, she discovered that her biggest enemy was not in the harem, but in the front court; her deepest scheming was not to compete for favor, but to seize the right to inherit the throne.
And her only ally is the young emperor who is also trapped on the Dragon Throne.
