This work tells the story of Shen Wei, the daughter of a criminal minister. In order to avenge her family and survive, she entered the palace under a pseudonym and became a low-level palace maid. Relying on her extraordinary wisdom and scheming, under the disguise of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", she managed every step of the way in the turbulent palace. She does not rely on any supernatural "golden fingers", but only relies on her precise insight into people's hearts and meticulous layout to climb the ladder of power step by step from a little palace maid who allows others to bully her.
On the way, she formed a "benefit" alliance with the prince Xiao Jue, who was also in the whirlpool of seizing the legitimate heir and also showing off in disguise. The two teamed up to fight against the conspiracies of powerful ministers, eunuchs, and harem concubines again and again, from testing and using each other to showing their sincerity, and finally became each other's only "right daughter/emperor." The highlight of the plot lies in every "strong point" reversal in which the heroine defeats the strong with the weak and defeats the situation with wisdom, and the process of her and the male protagonist transforming from chess pieces to partners, working together to fight their way out of a desperate situation, and finally taking charge of the world.
Purpose: Reshaping of personal self-worth and growth and transformation in difficult situations.
