Jinzhanghu

Shen Weilan, the eldest daughter of Yongning Houfu, is the most special existence in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. She has a beautiful face, but she hides a delicate heart. When it comes to calculations, even the most scheming housekeeper in the house would shy away from her. Others laughed at her because, as a legitimate daughter, she did not study the needlework of women, but wanted to learn those "secret and cunning" tricks, but they did not know that she had already seen through the rules of survival in the deep house - staying in peace and keeping oneself was never a life-saving talisman for a legitimate daughter, but a yoke to be manipulated by others. Her mother died young, her father was partial, her stepmother was eyeing her, and her half-brothers and sisters were all around her. If she hadn't been that fox hiding her sharp claws, she would have become an innocent ghost in the dry well in the backyard. Everyone thought that Shen Weilan's fate was just to be used as a pawn by his family, marry into a noble family, and continue to spend his whole life fighting in the house. Until that day, she was set up by her stepmother and almost involved in a conspiracy that could destroy the Hou Mansion. When she was in danger, she was protected by an unexpected force. The person who protects her is the current prince Xiao Jue. This His Highness the Crown Prince is a taboo that no one in the capital dares to mention. Rumor has it that he had a violent temperament and ruthless methods. He raised dead men in the East Palace, turned his hands into clouds and made rain in the court, and even the emperor was afraid of him. No one knows that this crazy prince who is walking in the darkness has a light from ten years ago hidden in his heart. At that time, he was a neglected prince who was framed and lived on the street. When he had a high fever, a little girl with a bun in her bun secretly gave him half a piece of warm osmanthus cake. She also put her most precious amulet into his hand and said in a sweet voice: "Bad people dare not bully the lucky people." Shen Weilan had long forgotten this episode, but in her dealings with Xiao Jue, she was keenly aware of the paranoia hidden in his eyes. He used his power to pull her out of the cage in the Hou Mansion, but trapped her deeper in the East Palace cage; he and she intrigued, testing each other's bottom line, but when she was in danger, he showed his desperate madness. "Shen Weilan, be my Crown Princess. Whatever the Marquis owes you, I will repay you a hundredfold." He held her chin, his tone was undeniably strong, but there was an imperceptible tremor in his eyes. Shen Weilan smiled, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes: "I want His Highness's benefits, but I don't want His Highness's control. How about we make a deal? How about you help me get rid of the Hou Mansion, and I will help you stabilize your position?" They are each other's pawns, but in each confrontation, they glimpse the scars under each other's hard shell. She had seen his fragility when he was haunted by nightmares when he dreamed back at midnight, and he understood her loneliness and courage beneath her seemingly smooth appearance. The situation in Beijing was changing, and the battle for the heir became more and more intense. Shen Weilan no longer only thought about protecting herself. As a woman, she wandered between the turbulent court and the back house to clear obstacles for him; and Xiao Jue also put away the spikes all over his body to support her in a world where she could breathe freely. What was once mutual use has gradually turned into a tacit dependence; the past intrigues have finally turned into a bond of life and death. When he was above thousands of people, brushing the snow off her temples, he understood that the so-called salvation is not about who lights up the other, but two people in darkness finally find the light that can warm each other. There is never a perfect fairy tale in this world. There are only two smart people who stumbled between calculation and sincerity to create a way for each other to survive. They also created a deep love that others could not understand. Intention: Darkness embraces each other, using conspiracy as the blade and heart as the light; two strong players compete to save each other and break the dust web together; make a living in the house, seek the heart in the court, and go to the light hand in hand.
