Resurrection from the dead, blood comes back. She is not a lamb to be slaughtered, but a Shura who demands her life.
Shen Jinglan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongchang, died suddenly of an "emergency" not long after her wedding. Above the mourning hall, husband Gu Yanzhao and concubine Shen Wan'er were acting out their affection. No one knew that what was awakening in the coffin was Lin Wei, a soul from a thousand years later.
Carrying the overwhelming resentment of the original owner and the wisdom of a scholar, she pushed the coffin up in front of everyone, shocking the capital. A gentle husband, a delicate concubine, an unpredictable stepmother... In the Hou Mansion, everyone wears a mask, and murderous intentions are hidden everywhere. Behind the bowl of intestinal poison, there is not only love and hatred, but also a mysterious relic left by the late biological mother, Princess Zhaohua, and a palace murder case that has been silent for many years.
In order to protect himself and seek revenge, Shen Jinglan used his sickly body as a shield and played the chess game calmly. Make friends with experts, set up secret agents, and even find the old "Zhao Ying" subordinates who were loyal to the prince in the past. Strange poisons in southern Xinjiang, frame-ups by witchcraft, and palace warnings came one after another. She walked on the edge of a knife, peeling off cocoons, and vowed to uncover all falsehoods.
When the clues pointed to the deep palace and revealed the shocking secret of the sudden death of the third prince more than ten years ago, she was shocked to realize that she had already been involved in the bloody chess game of the court forces. Are the tokens and maps left by my mother a curse, or the key to breaking the situation?
From the deep residence of the Hou Mansion to the top of the palace, this is a long road of revenge paved with lies and washed with blood. Shen Jinglan will use wisdom as a blade and people's hearts as a chess piece to recover all blood debts in a night of gorgeous brocade but full of murderous intent.
"Everyone, did you not expect that the underworld would not accept me, or... Didn't you dare to accept me?"
Concept: The story goes beyond simple house fighting and love, and leads the conflict to the decadent aristocratic system, the hidden historical truth (the old case of the third prince) and the ultimate black hand deep in the palace. The protagonist's revenge is essentially an awakened individual who, with his wisdom and tenacity, challenges an old order that is huge, unfair and full of lies. Not only does she want to avenge herself, but she also tries to seek justice for her mother, Princess Zhaohua, for the third prince and the "Zhao Yingwei" who died unjustly, and for all the "chess pieces" swallowed up by the conspiracy, and to subvert the dark rules that trample on life and justice.
