By a stroke of luck, Jiang He, a commandery princess poisoned for twelve years, regained her wits. She was no longer foolish and raving mad! On the very night she came to her senses, Xu Ye, the chancellor's son, died in her bedroom. Should she wrap him in a straw mat and toss him into the mass grave? Never mind, that wouldn't look good. Someone, come here! Just tell everyone the chancellor's son was played to death by this commandery princess...
In this man-eating dynasty, surrounded by a cold-blooded and heartless family, there was her uncle the emperor, Jiang Nian, whose intentions were hard to read; her seventh uncle, Prince Yu Jiang Heng; and her fourth aunt, Jiang Xi, who was a hypocrite. Fine, she'd tear off her mask herself. Her fifth uncle, Jiang Jing, loved scheming, so she'd personally play a good game of chess with him... Her mother, Princess Jiang Sui, had pretended to be mad and foolish and stayed out of sight for years. Well, this commandery princess would lead her good-for-nothing mother, the princess, into building a career!
Men? No thanks! Beautiful women? Mine!
Using evil to punish evil? A demon king who runs amok? Just my type!
Protect her mother, safeguard the dynasty, punish corrupt officials... Jiang He swears she'll carve out a place for herself in Jingyuan. This is her era, and she's the one in charge!
