Luo Qinghe transmigrates into a rebirth novel as a cannon-fodder concubine-born daughter, sent to the imperial palace in place of her legitimate elder sister.
In the original story, on her seventh day in the palace, the tyrant runs her through the heart with a sword. She doesn’t even get a complete line of dialogue.
She arrives in the palace and, on her very first day, someone slips her a note: Don’t eat too much of the imperial food.
The tyrant wants her dead, but someone else is even more eager to kill her.
Is it her elder sister, reborn and returned, or the virtuous prince who claims he wants to bring peace and prosperity to the people?
Luo Qinghe doesn’t know, but she does know she has to survive.
With no one to rely on, she’ll find someone herself.
With no information, she’ll investigate herself.
With no food, she’ll cook for herself.
Struggling to survive amid treacherous schemes, Luo Qinghe decides to rewrite her fate with her own hands.
If she’s going to die either way, she might as well take a gamble.
She never planned to be just a chess piece. She intends to make a move in this game too.
