A soul from another world traveled to a world where the status of men and women was completely reversed, and became the only daughter of the Edo shogunate who should have died young - Tokugawa Matsuhime.
In order to survive in the undercurrent of Daou, she took advantage of the sequelae of a high fever and pretended to be stupid and aphasic, quietly dormant in Xinomaru. With the help of modern medical knowledge and historical understanding, he works step by step to find a chance for himself in a desperate situation.
Her arrival not only rewrote Matsuhime's fate, but also reversed the life trajectories of the four men around her. She also inadvertently disturbed the entire Edo shogunate, and even affected the distant Saizhou and Qing Dynasties.
Power games, intertwined conspiracies, entanglements of love and hate, self-salvation... A magnificent reversal story is about to slowly begin in this topsy-turvy universe.
