The princess was ambushed and died tragically on the day of her wedding. Lin Zhaoxue, the personal maid, was forced to put on a phoenix crown and marry into the Dingbei Hou Mansion on her behalf!
She was originally the most inconspicuous shadow in Prince Liang's palace, but she had strong martial arts skills and many years of guarding and counter-reconnaissance skills. She could tear apart a dead end from footprints, changing of guards, the scent of medicine and a wrong word!
And the man she is going to marry is none other than Lu Chenzhou, the prince of Beihou who is rumored to be terminally ill, scheming and most likely to kill the real princess!
She pretends to be a gentle princess, and he pretends to be a sick and disabled person; she hides a knife every night to find out the real murderer, and he sets up a trap step by step to test the authenticity.
At the homecoming banquet, Prince Liang hid a knife in his smile, and the Hou Mansion was surrounded by secrets. The death of the real princess actually led to a shocking conspiracy of rebellion by the Prince's Mansion, collusion with the enemy at the border, and seizing power in the court!
Everyone thought that she was just a stand-in who could be easily crushed to death, but she decided to enter the game with her own body, check the hidden stakes, lure the enemy to reveal their tail, and turn the chess game set by Prince Liang and his daughter upside down!
When the sick and frail prince takes off his disguise, he helps her sick and plays chess to protect her; when the humble maid tears apart her false identity and picks up a knife to fight a bloody path for the prince's mansion, the frontier, and the world.
Is she a fake princess, or the sharpest knife in this troubled world?
Purpose: To serve the country with a humble body
