Shen Yiyao, the legitimate daughter of a general, was born in a family of swordsmen and iron horses, and grew up playing poetry, books, music, and chess. She has the blood of a general in her bones, and there is still a certain amount of arrogance hidden in her temperament. The new emperor Xiao Yin ascended the throne. She followed her brother's wishes and stepped into the gate of the Vermilion Palace. She was granted the title of Concubine Chen and took charge of the Sixth Palace. Within the palace walls, she secretly formed a clique with Xiao Yun, the ninth prince outside the palace, to plan for her brother. On the surface, she relied on the emperor's connivance, and was arrogant but not stupid, and proud but not showing off. The imperial palace was deep and ruthless, but it was extremely indulgent to her, allowing her to be arrogant and wanton - but there was a sincerity hidden in this indulgence that even he himself could not explain. However, the deep palace is never a peaceful place. Due to a misunderstanding, a disguised prince of Northern Qi took her out of the palace gate and into another mountain and river. Living in a foreign country, she slowly discovered that the person she rejected had quietly developed an inexplicable bond with her somewhere - between family and country, there is no reason for the origin of love. After returning, Xiao Yin learned about this and was furious. He suppressed his jealousy and refused to admit defeat with a straight face. Two equally sober people, going around and around, finally fell into the deepest chess piece of each other's life in this palace city.
The purpose of the story: How does an arrogant general's daughter deal with herself in the whirlpool of power in the deep palace? How do two equally sober and equally profound people fall in love without knowing it between calculation and sincerity.
