Thirteen-year-old palace maid Shi He's life is lighter than a piece of the princess's clothes.
The princess didn't want to be punished, so she knelt on her behalf; the princess didn't want to get married, so she put on a golden feather dress to meet the Northern envoy on her behalf; on the day of the country's fall, the princess even wanted to push her out to die on her behalf.
From prisoner, slave, translator to commander-in-chief, Shi He relied on a heart that was ruthless than anyone else to win his own soldiers, his own ship and his own crown bit by bit.
Her childhood sweetheart once promised to take her to see the sea, but she left for many years and came back with the fleet that changed the world. The prince in the north was the first to see through her and use her, and his relationship with her went from hostile marriage to love and death. In the end, he found that this woman was more cold-blooded than he imagined; the emperor of the old country hated her to the bone.
Some of them want to save her, some want to marry her, some want to use her, and some want to kill her with their own hands.
But Shi He never intended to be attached to any man.
What she wants is the throne on land and the territory of thousands of miles on the sea.
