One night in the Hou Men's life, there was a sea of blood and hatred. In order to replace her father Zhaoxue who died unjustly, Lin Wanqing, the former daughter of the Chancellor's Palace, took off her red makeup, put on official robes, assumed the pseudonym "Lin Yuandao", and resolutely stepped into the turbulent court.
She used her body as a sword and her life as a stake, just to get close to the enemy who could cover the sky with one hand - the current prime minister Gu Xuan.
In the imperial examination field, she shocked everyone; in the Golden Palace strategy, she was unparalleled in her wits. This rising star in the court attracted two completely different eyes:
One came from the prince who made her her lifelong confidant, Xiao Tiance. He is eager to reform the government, and "Lin Yuandao" is the sharpest blade in his eyes to break the situation. The king and his ministers knew each other and cherished each other, but they didn't know that this appreciation had already crossed the line.
The other one came from the powerful prime minister, Gu Xuan. From this seemingly harmless young man, he smelled the same dangerous aura as his political opponents back then, and murderous intent quietly came.
A carefully planned revenge eventually evolved into a power game for the entire dynasty. When the layers of disguise are revealed, when she stands proudly at the pinnacle of power as a woman, will she be greeted by the glory of joining hands with you, or the doom of her identity being exposed?
Intent: It is not only a cool story about revenge, but also a deep fable about struggle, growth, and choice. It aims to tell readers that true strength does not mean the absence of weaknesses, but that after recognizing the predicament and shackles one is in, one still chooses to dance hard with the shackles on, and ultimately tries to change the rules themselves.
