In the last years of Jiajing's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the government was in disarray and border generals were falling. Chen Yuandao, the general in charge of Zhenxi, was unjustly killed in battle. His posthumous daughter-in-law, Chen Xiuying, was raised as a man by her mother. Eighteen years later, she went to Beijing with the family iron bow, hoping to enter an official career to avenge her father's injustice. In the capital, she changed her name to "Chen Ying" and met her nominal fiancée, Liu Xiu'e, the daughter of Liu Wenyuan, a doctor in the household department.
On the surface, Xiu'e is a gentle civil servant, but in fact she is a behind-the-scenes counselor who assists her father in running a huge business network and secretly collects intelligence for the future monarch. His elder brother Liu Wenbo, who was the childhood companion and most trusted friend of Prince Zhu Zaijing (the future Emperor Longqing), introduced "Chen Ying" into the elite circles of the capital, and also secretly integrated and used the Liu family business network to cultivate power for the prince.
This is a story about avenging injustice, growing up, falling in love and creating a new world. It is the iron bow and the bright moon, the chessboard and the arrows, the unspeakable affection and conspiracy in the palace, and the legend of several young people using wisdom, courage and sacrifice to jointly break the shackles of the times in the gaps of history.
