She was Liu Zhaowei, the most neglected concubine in the Shangshu Mansion. When the engagement was signed, she was pushed onto a sedan chair and married into Prince Yan's mansion on behalf of her eldest sister, who was rumored to be a "coward". Everyone thought that this was just a substitute marriage to cover up shame - when the palace was disgusted, or when the time came, she would quietly disappear from the chess game of the powerful.
But no one knew that from the moment she stepped into the palace, she was already planning a "fake death escape" for herself.
Li Mo, the Prince of Yan, looks ridiculous on the surface, has a vicious tongue, and scolds all the courtiers. He is a playboy prince that everyone avoids. But he can see through her disguise at a glance, and even when she is planning her escape step by step, he never reveals it. She thought she was making a living in the dark, but gradually she discovered that the real chess game in this palace was never just hers.
The gentle young master Ye Lingshuang whom she met by chance in the bookstore, the mysterious old painting "Mountain Birds Playing in Residence" that affected the court, and the poet Wu Yan who haunted her in dreams, like an invisible net, tightened her escape plan little by little.
When the suspended animation situation really started, she discovered that the so-called substitute marriage was never the beginning, but the entrance to being involved in a deeper conspiracy; and the person she wanted to escape the most might be the only person really waiting for her to come back.
