"She is a walking glacier, but there is a karmic fire burning in her heart that can burn everything."
The story takes place in the last years of the fictional "Jakhao" dynasty. The first female lead, Shen Qingshuang, was born in the declining "Intelligence Family" Shen family. At the age of fifteen, she entered the auxiliary East Palace and became the chief tutor and chief of staff of the second female lead, Li Zhao, the crown prince's daughter. She spent ten years, using her iron fist and wisdom, to build a copper wall for the precarious East Palace. The male lead, Gu Huai, is the most inconspicuous clerk in the East Palace. His life experience is a mystery. He is meek and modest, but he hides a heart hollowed out by hatred and inferiority.
When the political storm of the empire swept across, when all the exquisite chess games collapsed in an instant - three people, three choices, three ruins.
