During the Yongchang period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shen Zhaoyue, the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Shen family, struggled to survive under the eaves of the Hou Mansion because her father died in the war and her family fell into decline. She does not fight for favor, does not rely on her appearance, and relies only on a pair of insightful eyes and a step-by-step strategy to find a way out for her family in the undercurrent of the deep house and compound. She was treated harshly by her aunt, scheming by her sisters, and coveted by her cousins. Under layers of murderous intent, she used softness to overcome strength and wisdom to overcome the situation. She grew from a bullied orphan to a behind-the-scenes chess player who controlled the entire family. When the mystery of her life experience was revealed and the court was turbulent, her chess game had already transcended the walls of the house and entered the big game of the world.
