In the winter of the seventeenth year of Yongxi, Yu Tingwan, the daughter of the seventh emperor, who had been exiled to the north for ten years in disguise, returned to Yujing, the center of power in Dayin, with an edict and the title of "King Qiong".
The pain of the overthrow of her mother's family in the past and the hardships of the frontier for ten years have long since worn away her tenderness and tempered her into a sharp blade with restrained brilliance and hidden edge. She is no longer the abandoned child that no one cares about, but the first princess in this dynasty who enjoys the title of prince and can participate in political affairs. The government and the public either despised her, feared her, or wanted to use her as a pawn or marriage tool. No one really regarded her as an opponent.
However, the situation in Yujing is turbulent, the royal brothers are fighting openly and secretly for the throne, and the factions in the court are constantly fighting. The emperor was thoughtful and summoned her back to the capital, which was intended to be a check and a cruel test.
Yu Tingwan knows very well that in this world's largest chess game, gender is never a shackle, and power is the only language. She openly claimed that she was sick and showed weakness, but secretly, in the name of the prince, she worked every step of the way: inspecting the mansion, cultivating confidants, and even ordered people to secretly investigate the "Nansha" murder case that implicated her mother's clan ten years ago, vowing to wash away her grievances and take back everything that belonged to her.
From the cautious response to the first appearance of the court to the thrilling adventure of exploring the secret palace at night, she dealt with various forces such as King Qi, King Yi, and King Jade, and was walking on thin ice under the emperor's mind. With wisdom and tenacity, she resolves crises time and time again and quietly lays out her own chess game.
The phoenix hides in the court, but its ambition is in the sky. This is a path of intrigue full of thorns, and it is also a fierce counterattack launched by an orphan girl against her fate. See how Yu Tingwan, in this dragon's pond and tiger's den, uses the body of a woman to exercise the power of a prince, stir up the wind and clouds, and plot the world. In the end, the phoenix calls the court, uncovers the many fogs, and writes a legend of his own.
