An imperial edict pushed her from the countryside into the deepest whirlpool of Kyoto. The adopted daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs was betrothed to the emperor's third son. Everyone said it was a God-given marriage. But no one knew that she had experienced life and death in another world. The game of power and chess is shocking at every step; the entanglement of love and hate is bone-gnawing every inch. She had no intention of competing for favor, she just wanted to survive in the palace, but she got involved in the fight for the legitimate son. The fourth prince was cold and deep, but when she was most embarrassed, he stretched out a hand: "Be my concubine, and I will give you freedom." When her old childhood sweetheart was intertwined with the absurd fate in front of her, she finally understood that love is a trade-off, and power is a shackle. Only by overturning the chess game with her own hands can she regain her true self.
