The red walls are deeply locked, and the palace is majestic, hiding so much obsession and blood. Shen Weiwan, the daughter of a guilty minister, stepped into the harem of the Yong Dynasty as a humble palace maid, shouldering the injustice of her family, and fought every step amidst the light of swords and shadows. She keeps the cold front, keeps the bottom line in the intrigues, and protects the original intention in the whirlpool of imperial power - not only to clear the family's reputation, but also to find a glimmer of hope in this destructive palace.
The queen's dignity and ruthlessness, the concubine Hua's arrogance and sobriety, and the wise concubine's gentleness and concealment of swords are all thorns on her way forward; the emperor's suspicion of balance, the restraint and affection of the imperial doctor, and the dependence of the maid on life and death are all fetters in her ups and downs. From Sui Yuxuan's dormant survival to Ting Lanxuan's first appearance, from the frightening step by step alliance joining hands, to Yu Sui's heart-wrenching confrontation, she relied on wisdom to break the situation, protected herself with sincerity, and finally transformed from a chess piece to a chess master, ascending to the position of a noble concubine, assisting the new emperor, and listening to politics behind the curtain.
For decades in the palace, she had seen power and blood, and had tasted the coldness and warmth of human kindness, but she never lost her true heart - she not only avenged a sea of blood, but also had compassion and benevolence. Finally, at the peak of her power, she chose to let go of power, and found the rarest peace within the red wall in the forgetful grass of Changle Palace. This is a game about survival, revenge and redemption, and it is also a tragedy and legend about women under the imperial power who stick to their original aspirations and live towards the sun under the shackles.
There are no winners in Zhu Qiang, only those who guard their hearts can live their own light in the ups and downs of troubled times.
Purpose: Keep your original intention in desperate situations, and keep your true nature in the desire for power - in the whirlpool of shackles and machinations in the deep palace, see the persistence and relief of human nature in the game of survival.
