In his previous life, Shen Zhiwei's youngest son died in infancy, his family was wronged, and he died in the cold palace. Returning to the day of the draft, she no longer competed for temporary favor, but took the initiative to enter the old game. From a cup of poisonous tea, a red kite seal, to the Shuozhou military pay case that affected two dynasties, she pursued the truth step by step.
The young emperor Xiao Chengyu is also trapped in the control of the Queen Mother and his relatives. He is calm and suspicious, while she is restrained and sharp; at first they test each other and become each other's pawns, but later they connect the harem and the court into a game of chess.
In this life, Shen Zhiwei wants to save his family, clear up old grievances, and make those rules that once swallowed up innocent people no longer able to easily kill people. But when she reached the middle palace, the last thing she had to break was perhaps the old rule of "the player who plays chess must sacrifice others first".
