Shen Zhaoning, a master of modern crisis public relations, once traveled through time and became an abandoned daughter who was pushed out of the Zhenguo Palace to marry as a substitute. On her wedding night, she married into the Seventh Prince's Mansion, which everyone shunned, and faced the prince Xiao Jingheng who was suffering from illness, had been out of favor for many years, and had hidden secrets in the Mansion.
The world laughed at her for marrying a deposed prince who was about to die, but they didn't know that what she was best at was finding a way out of a dead situation. Checking dowries, cracking chronic drugs, overturning old cases, plundering the household department, and closing business routes, she used the account books as a blade and people's hearts as a chess piece, step by step, to push the Seventh Prince's House from the laughingstock of the capital to the chessboard of seizing the direct descendants.
And the prince who was rumored to be gloomy and sick also showed his real edge in her game. He doubted her, tested her, protected her, and gradually lost control of her.
She wants to live, to win, and to trample into the mud all those who despise her.
He wants to overturn the verdict, seize power, and make the person who killed his mother and concubine kneel in front of the palace.
A substitute marriage is the beginning of a dead end and the first step in the conspiracy between the emperor and the empress.
