In his previous life, Jiang Zhaozhao planned for the prince Xiao Chengyu for ten years and helped him ascend to the throne of God. However, in exchange for this, his father and brother died tragically, his mother's family was exiled, and he was deposed. Before she died, she learned that her concubine Jiang Yunrou had already joined forces with the prince and used her and the entire Jiang family as pawns to ascend to heaven.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back before the decree of marriage was given.
In this life, Jiang Zhaozhao no longer be a docile noble girl, nor does she believe in the emperor's affection. The prince wanted her to join the Eastern Palace, but she broke off the engagement in public; the concubine wanted to take her life, but she personally tore off his mask. Everyone in the capital was waiting to see her laugh, but instead she turned around and married Pei Yanci, a cold-faced powerful minister who held power and was shunned by everyone.
The world thought she was clinging to power, but only Pei Yanci knew that what she wanted was never protection, but to play chess with her own hands.
In her previous life, she lowered her head to survive and lost everything; in this life, she is taking every step to protect her family's peace and bring down those who bully her from their high positions one by one.
Purpose: Women should not be trapped by fate and the world. Only by being clear-headed, self-reliant and courageous in playing chess can they truly control their own lives.
