In the Dasheng Dynasty, the palace was as deep as an abyss.
Gu Zhiwan, the concubine who was about to be deposed because of her crime, was kicked into the deepest part of the cold palace before the deposed edict was completed and her status was not taken. Everyone thought her life was over - they forgot that she was the one who lived by following the rules.
In this palace, rules are knives, locks, and sharp weapons for killing; in her hands, rules become the key to breaking the situation. A night banquet turned out to be a chess game of people's hearts. She walked step by step from the cold palace back to the Nine Palaces, from a talented person to a noble concubine, and sent everyone who wanted her death into the game she had laid out with her own hands.
But the higher she climbed, the more she came into contact with the deepest secrets of the palace: the palace evil hidden under the palace wall, the bloody words hidden in the nine-phoenix crown, the missing younger brother, and the sentence - "Your father is not dead."
When the phoenix cries in the wild, there will be an echo. This time, what she wanted was not status, but the justice that this palace owed to the Gu family.
