At the age of five, Wei Ning was sent to the capital to "recuperate".
Eleven years later, she learned that the disease was given by the emperor. She is the daughter of the Northern General and the hostage used by the imperial court to contain the Wei family.
Noble ladies crowded out, imperial doctors monitored, and imperial guards guarded the gates. She played the role of a patient for eleven years and kept all the thorns in her bones. Looking upstairs to the north, she said to herself: I am still alive.
The seventh prince Gu Yuan is here.
His biological mother is the princess of Beidi. She has no help in the court and can be bullied by everyone. He knocked on her door and said, "We're the same person."
Wei Ning didn't believe it, but she didn't refuse either. She needed allies and he needed military power. Everyone gets what they need, and no one loses.
She thought she was the chess player. Later I discovered that from the beginning, she was the most important piece on the chessboard.
Shen Zhi was the only surprise.
He is Shen Wan's elder brother, as gentle as jade, doesn't talk much, and never crosses the line. Occasionally, I come to give you a book, play a game of chess, and leave a ginkgo leaf when I leave.
Wei Ning didn't care. She didn't know that this man's eyes would follow her for many years.
The chess game of seizing the direct descendants slowly unfolded. Gu Yuan's gentleness is like a knife, and Shen Zhi's silence is like medicine. She couldn't tell which knife hurt more and which medicine was more bitter.
Until the wind and sand in the north blew out the last bit of light.
Until someone risked his life to say "Come to Shen's Mansion when you have no other choice".
That year, there was a lot of snow in Luojing. She finally understood that once some moves are made, there is no going back.
——He won the world and lost the only person who wanted to stay.
——She won her freedom and lost the best years of her life.
Machiavellianism is the main one, and sadomasochism is the secondary one. Slow-burning, long-form, with a beginning and an end.

Intention: The game between power and sincerity, the dual metaphor of imprisonment and freedom.
She was trapped in the capital for eleven years, thinking she was a pawn. Later I realized that the person playing chess was also in the game. He won the world and lost the only person who wanted to stay. She won her freedom and lost the best years of her life.
This is a story about loss and choice - some roads cannot be turned back, some people are destined to miss it, but when the wind comes from the south, they are still there.

Alternate Lite version:
The general's daughter was trapped as a hostage, and the legitimate prince was seized and used military power as bait. In a game between two strong players, whoever is tempted first loses. Later, he won the world and she won freedom, but they both lost to themselves.
