Shen Wei, in her previous life, was Concubine Lan who was the most favored concubine of the Sixth Palace. However, on the eve of the ceremony of conferring the queen, she was pushed into the incinerator by her most trusted aunt Awu. Before she died, she found out that the serial orchid murders, the defection of the guards, the fruit and wine bureau... All the carefully paved roads to death were all created by this "good sister" who smiled like a spring breeze. On the first day after he was reborn and returned to the palace as a maid, Shen Wei decided: In this life, he will not be a chess piece, but a chess player.
She used the prophet to avoid murderous plots and save the palace servants who should have died in vain, but she was accidentally involved in the secret plot of Prince Xiao Jingheng to seize the throne. The prince, who was rumored to be violent and cold, recognized the scent of fruit and wine on her body when they first met, and imprisoned her in the East Palace as a "medicine guide". The two went from testing and using each other to being handed the back in life and death situations. Shen Wei discovered that many "irrefutable evidences" in his previous life pointed to A Wu's plan, and the death of Xiao Jingheng's mother and concubine seemed to be related to this grand chess game that spanned two lives.
As Shen Wei moves forward step by step, tearing apart A Wu's disguise, the bigger truth emerges: A Wu is not doing it for herself, and behind her is a secret force that controls the change of imperial power. On the night of the final battle, A Wu showed a gentle smile to Shen Wei like in his previous life and forced her to the cliff. This time, Xiao Jingheng arrived with his troops, and Shen Wei took the initiative to hold A Wu's hand and led her down together - because she knew that there was already support at the foot of the cliff, and A Wu had to "die" in front of everyone. When the dust settled, Shen Wei stood next to Xiao Jingheng with a new identity. There was no more haze in the path of emperor and empress in this life.
