Yu Zhiwei, the concubine of the Hou family, was born to be a chess piece discarded by the family at will. The eldest sister did not want to marry the seventh prince Yan Chenzhou, who was rumored to be lingering on his sick bed, and ran away from the marriage overnight, so she was pushed out and became a victim of a wedding.
Everyone was waiting to see her become a widow and suffer. Even the people who sent her to the palace secretly ordered her to monitor the prince's movements and wait for opportunities to deliver secret reports from the court. On the wedding night of Hongzhu, Yu Zhiwei pretends to be happy with her, but she discovers a shocking secret - the sick and frail prince is actually a person who has been dormant for many years and has hidden all his talents. His illness and weakness are all a disguise.
The two have their own purposes, testing each other and pulling each other step by step, being on guard at every turn but sacrificing their lives to save each other many times. There are turbulent undercurrents in the palace and halls, and the struggle for imperial power is murderous at every step. From being chess pieces used by each other, they gradually develop sincerity, and the fake show becomes reality. She gave up her forbearance and cowardice, and settled the debts of the Hou Mansion step by step; he took off his disguise, stirred up the storm with her, eliminated the traitors in the court, and worked together to take back everything that should belong to them.
The game of power hides tenderness and tenderness, the entanglement of love and hate runs in both directions, sweet favor and revenge are intertwined, and the substitute princess and the sinister prince share control of the country.
