Shen Qingci died once.
In her previous life, she was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. She was raised as a chess piece and pushed out as an abandoned child to take the blame. A bowl of poisonous tea silenced her voice, and a piece of white silk killed her. The moment she died, she finally saw everyone clearly—the loving aunt, the weak concubine, the gentle prince, and her father who was watching with cold eyes.
It wasn't death she hated. What she hated was that she never understood why those people could treat her like this until her death.
When she opened her eyes again, she was seven years old again. The bowl of poisonous tea had not yet been brought to her mouth, her throat was still fine, and she still had time to do one thing -
alive. Live until everyone pays the price.
In this life she comes back with an "epiphany" after her death. A book called "Guan Ming Shu" allows her to see through everyone's weaknesses, a book called "Grass and Wood Notes" allows her to kill people in silent places, and a book called "Zonghengqi" allows her to spread all the way from the backyard of the inner house to the court. She wanted her aunt to be hanged by her own rules, her concubine to be exposed, and her father to watch everything he was proud of fall apart.
But her opponent is far more than just a town government. The eldest princess who held half of the country at that time had already set her sights on her. From the inner house to the capital, from the capital to Jiangnan, from Jiangnan to the world - every step is a chess game, and at every step someone wants her to die again.
And the last game she played was something no one expected -
In the spring when her enemies were wiped out and the new emperor ascended the throne, she packed a small baggage, led a skinny donkey, and walked out of the city gate.
Someone asked her where she was going.
She said: "Go and take a look at Jiangnan for someone."

Stop playing chess. Resign and return. From now on, there will be no more Shen Qingci in the world.
