The first time Cui Xuan met Feng Ling was at Taixue. The domineering third princess was holding a whip, and the cold light flashing in her eyes when she turned around made his heart move - this woman is not simple.
He was the first minister at the age of twenty-six, with disciples and old officials all over the government and the public. He looked glamorous but was actually very scheming. And at the age of seventeen, she already knew the checks and balances of power, held the secret guards in her hands, and was able to navigate the undercurrents of the court with ease. Both of them are chess players, but they both want to turn each other into chess pieces.
The Jokhang Dynasty was in turmoil, the emperor had not established a heir in his prime, and the princes were undercurrent. Feng Ling cultivated power as a princess, and Cui Xuan needed her royal background. They made a deal: she gave him status and authority, and he gave her court support and an intelligence network.
But plans can never keep up with changes. On the 12th floor of Yujing, a giant of the Immortal Sect suddenly intervened in the court situation, and the old friendship between the building owner Pei Wanzhong and Feng Ling's biological mother became a new variable. The young building owner Pei Zheyu went down the mountain to look for her. The eyes of the immortal cultivator who was supposed to cut off the mortal world were full of obsession that could not be overcome. The border general Xiao Mingzhan was also watching with a heavy army at this time, the secret guard Jing Han was almost paranoid about her loyalty, and even the eunuch Ji Wuhui was secretly planning.
Feng Ling has become the focus of everyone's competition, and she just wants to hold on to the power in her hands and fight her way out in this troubled world. Cui Xuan was sick and torn but refused to give in. The two tested each other, achieved each other, and tortured each other at the peak of power. When their ambitions for hegemony conflict with their inner feelings, can they find the answer to both ends?
Intention: Women can also hold power and do not have to rely on others to live. They should write their own destiny with their own will.
