Who led Princess Chunhe to conceive the ambition of seizing the empire?
Zhang Li, a country bumpkin Taoist, what gave her the nerve to break into the Eastern Depot alone?
As power struggles shifted and authority changed hands, the people suffered and the court sank into darkness. If you deliberately joined the fight for power, could you escape disaster?
Chunhe: I, Li Mingjiao, was born to be exceptional. Why would I need anyone to tempt me? Power and the empire are right there. If I want them, I'll take them.
Zhang Li: I only want to know the truth. Is there not a single shred of justice in this world?!
She was the emperor's most beloved legitimate eldest daughter. But why, after her mother's death, had she suddenly realized that no one stood behind her?
Her once-close father no longer dared to confide in her...
The teacher she trusted had planted layers of surveillance around her...
Her childhood friends gradually drifted away amid the undercurrents...
At an age far too young to understand the consequences of failure, she brought disaster upon herself. Just when she thought death was inescapable, she met an ally who was always steady and dependable.
Heaven had shown her favor. None of her countless attempts to test the waters had worked, and that skinny little Taoist seemed to trust her completely.
And what of those people she had once cautiously placed her trust in, who still held power at court? How should she deal with them?
By scheming?... Or by appealing to their feelings?
Theme: I want to win.
