[Gentle, Clear-Headed Palace Maid × Cool, Mysterious Imperial Tutor]

-

Xu Huaizhen entered the palace at the age of eight, becoming the most inconspicuous little maid in the Imperial City.

She thought her life would amount to nothing more than lasting until she turned twenty-five, leaving the palace to marry, and quietly fading away.

But after her mentor, Zhao Shuiyun, died of poisoning, she realized just how many wronged souls haunted the depths of the palace, and wondered who could truly escape unscathed.

-

Then, in the sixteenth year of Yongxi, the selection of palace consorts began again.

The benefactor's daughter, who should have been sent to the Music Bureau, appeared before her as a palace candidate...

A case involving the Guan family opened up half a bloodstained palace register.

-

And when the edge of every conspiracy was finally exposed, that man appeared once more:

Pei Yansheng, tutor to the Crown Prince, a man of noble bearing and otherworldly elegance. Yet just when she needed help most, he came to her from a room filled with books:

"The Guan family case implicates many people, Xu Huaizhen. Let me help you."

She thought he was only moved by their old connection from the Zishan Academy,

not knowing that from the moment she hid outside the window to eavesdrop on his first lesson, he had already been laying the groundwork for her, step by step.

He taught her poetry and books, let her investigate the case, and even faced the disgraceful past he had long since cast aside, all to help her uncover the truth.

-

In the eyes of the world, he was the untouchable Mr. Pei, yet he was willing to descend into the mire of the imperial palace for her.

Because he had once watched her turn back toward the abyss out of gratitude, he wanted to be the one to help her take flight.

"Xu Huaizhen," he said, standing beneath his umbrella, his eyes deep as the night. "The palace is full of hidden currents. I won't let you face them alone."

-

From the palace servants' quarters to the golden throne room, from the deaths of palace maids to the struggle between princes...

She would wield her chess pieces as blades and make her heart the board, vowing to seek justice for the wrongly dead.

Though her status was as lowly as grass, as insignificant as dust, she could still...

Break the game with a single move, and shake the majesty of the imperial family with her humble power!

-

"Beneath the palace walls, no one wants to be a pawn."

"Unless someone willingly enters the game and risks everything for you."

Pei Yansheng
