The concubine Shen Zhiwei was sent in a sedan chair to marry the regent, who was rumored not to live longer than three months.
On their wedding night, she saw Xiao Chengyuan's death method in advance: his throat was sealed with poisonous wine and he fell in the wedding hall.
She rescued him and thought she had escaped death, but the next day she saw him killed by a hidden arrow. Every day since then, poisonings, assassinations, mutinies, and palace burnings have taken turns, and the details in the dream have come true one by one in reality.
In order to survive and to investigate the old cases left by her mother, Shen Zhiwei made a deal with the cold-faced regent: she changed his life for him, and he gave her the power to investigate the palace and the court.
But every time she saves him, she will get a "life seal" and bear a certain amount of death for him.
Until Shen Zhiwei discovered that Xiao Chengyuan was not born short-lived, but was a container used by the royal family to bear disasters for the entire dynasty.
This time, she not only wants to save her husband, but also overturns the chess game in which human lives are used to continue the fate of the country.
