On the day when the abandoned concubine Gu Zhao was thrown into the cold palace, everyone in the palace thought that she would not survive the winter.
Three years later, she came out alive - not relying on favor or family background, but relying on the complete picture of the court spelled out in the old case files of Leng Palace.
She could see the influence of relatives behind every favorite concubine, and accurately calculated the changes in the government behind every Jin Dynasty title. She became the emperor's most inseparable counselor and the person he feared most.
It was not until the great court meeting that she placed thirty-three pieces of evidence in front of the palace, each pointing to the same truth: the Gu family's destruction was a result of the emperor's personal plan.
There are no idle pens in the harem, and the holy will is all a chess game. The deposed concubine does not want to fight for favor, but what she wants is to kill her heart.
