It tells the story of Shen Wanxin's transformation from a reclusive genius to the master of the Sixth Palace. Shen Wanxin entered the palace just to live a stable life, but was pushed into the whirlpool by the emperor's question. The imperial concubine threatens her family with her life, the concubine De draws her in with love of protection, and the empress plots a chess game secretly due to her illness - the three parties engage in a stalemate, forcing her to move towards the center of power step by step. Her best friend Su Jinglan was her only light, helping her identify poisons and break the situation, but she was killed by a conspiracy. Because of her death, Shen Wanxin no longer hides her edge, but uses strategy as an edge to defeat her opponents one by one and ascend to the throne. When she stood at the highest point of the palace, she realized that she had lost her whole life. A woman would never win in this deep palace compound. The novel uses a cold writing style to outline the rules of survival in the deep palace: if you don't fight, you will die, if you fight, you may not live. The plot is intertwined with love, the logic is strict, and every step is shocking.
Reader comments
The whole book describes the indifference and selfishness of the royal family, as well as the dangers and calculations of the harem, but this work reflects the emperor's tenderness towards his lover and the mutual help between close friends😀.
