The Jiangnan Shen family was overturned due to a Cao Yin case three years ago, and the 18-year-old Shen Lingyi was forced to marry Dong Gong instead. Everyone was waiting to see how the guilty minister's daughter would be trapped in the palace, but on her wedding night, she negotiated a deal with the unknown prince Xiao Huaijing: he used Shen's old name to settle in the court, and she used the power of the East Palace to re-investigate the old cases of her father and brother.
A broken account, half an old seal, and a cracked white jade chess box led her from the depths of the palace wall to the wind and snow in the north. Medicinal materials, military pay, the missing brother and the palace affairs that have been sealed for many years gradually reveal their shadows under the same lamp.
She doesn't wait for gifts, nor does she ask anyone to clear her grievances. The account book is the blade, etiquette is the chess piece, and the human heart is the hardest piece to lose. And the person who initially only wanted to get what she needed, also walked side by side with her to the gate of Fengque through life and death.
Outside the door are mountains and rivers, and inside the door is the old situation. Spring came late, and she had not yet accepted her fate.
