A lowborn concubine’s daughter in a matriarchal dynasty is forced to marry a “useless” prince in someone else’s place, only to discover she is a carefully positioned pawn, meant to be discarded on a political chessboard. When she tears away her obedient facade and turns her iron-fisted methods against everyone who used her, the prince who once treated her like a plaything falls to his knees and begs her to look at him once more.
