Shen Weixi was designated as the quasi-princess of the third prince Xiao Yan since she was a child. She meekly accepted her fate, believing that her husband's love for her concubine would make her family prosperous. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, worked hard to seize the legitimate heir, taking advantage of both her and the Shen family. When the Shen family was framed and fell into ruin because he blocked the path to becoming the crown prince, he killed dozens of members of the Shen family. Only then did Shen Weixi realize that he had made a mistake and fell from the clouds. The cold-faced censor Gu Yan always appeared in an antagonistic manner, but he helped Shen Weixi when he was most desperate. He helped her see the chess game clearly and taught her how to hold the pieces. From dependence to independence, Shen Weixi and Gu Yan join forces to find a way out for their family and their own world in the turbulent court.
