This princess, sharing the same name, indulges in extravagance and debauchery, disregarding human life, and ultimately meets a tragic end. When Xie Linyu opens her eyes again, the soul inhabiting her body has been replaced by Xie Linyu from the modern world. With years of experience as a corporate slave, Xie Linyu excels at navigating the complexities of different factions, living behind a mask of gentle composure, but in reality, cautious and suspicious. After sorting out the original owner's memories and her current situation, the first thing she does is retrieve the man from the dungeon who is solely focused on revenge. However, the man wakes up and says: "You're not her. Kill me." Xie Linyu: "Let's talk this out. Don't die yet. Help me gain a foothold before you die." And so, one was a fake princess who only wanted to live a peaceful life, and the other was a true strategist who had long since had enough of life. One was good at "playing chess within the rules," and the other was good at "observing people's hearts from the shadows." They agreed to only use each other and get what they needed, but in the daily interactions in the princess's palace and in the process of working together to resolve crises, feelings secretly developed between them.

She never took the initiative, nor did she easily favor anyone. She simply stood at the highest point and watched coldly, seeing which of these ambitious daughters could withstand the test of the storm and survive this game that was destined to end in complete defeat.
