The deep palace of Daqi is the coldest palace, and the most dangerous one is the human heart.
Shen Qingci is the most embarrassing princess in the royal family. She has been trapped in a dilapidated palace since she was a child. She has no love from her father and the emperor, and no support from her mother. She has struggled to grow up with cold eyes and bullying. After years of dormancy, she has developed the ability to be calm and transparent, good at observing people's hearts and good at planning, and hides all her sharp edges under her cold skin.
A decree of marriage pushed her into a wild and desperate situation. In order to change her fate, she risked all her wealth and took the initiative to find the prince Xiao, who was recognized by both the government and the public, and concluded a deal in which everyone got what they needed.
Everyone in the world laughs at Prince Jamel Xiao for being dissolute and unambitious, but no one knows that beneath his wanton appearance, he hides his monstrous ambition and meticulous government to conquer the world.
A piece of paper binds two parties.
Shen Qingci entered the situation for him, used people's hearts, calculated tricks, and solved puzzles to help him win step by step in the feud between his brothers, the deceitfulness of the harem, and the disputes in the court;
Jamel Xiao broke the shackles for her, protected her, trusted her, doted on her, overturned the power of the East Palace for her, and blocked the wind and rain in the world.
It was originally a fictitious deal with mutual benefit and symbiosis, but it quietly took root and sprouted in countless life and death, day and night companionship.
She had been cold for half of her life, but he gave her his warm love; he was lonely and courageous, but she understood his true intentions.
From ants in the palace to empress of the world, from taking advantage of each other to staying true to each other until death.
This transaction that started as a conspiracy ended up as a pure and sincere love that transcended the quagmire of lust for power.
