The family collapsed and fell into dust.
Su Lingzheng, the scholarly legitimate daughter, was reduced to the lowest rank of maid in the palace. She was powerless and bullied.
Everyone knows that a phoenix in trouble is worse than a chicken.
But she doesn't believe in fate.
Accounts must be scrutinized to every detail, strange cases can be solved, and power schemes can be cultivated step by step.
She climbed up from the quagmire, relying on her intelligence and calmness to work her way up from the bottom of the palace as a palace maid, a female historian, and a court official. She held the title of female official in the Sixth Palace and became the uncrowned prime minister revered by both the government and the public.
People in the palace are treacherous, the court is turbulent, and everyone is following the trend. Only the powerful minister Xiao Heng respects her integrity, protects her, and silently takes care of her.
He wields power and kills coldly, but he gives all his tenderness and preference to her alone.
