Xie Yuan once thought that he would probably be trapped in drawings, overtime work, and plans that would never be completed in this life.
Until late one night, she fell asleep to the sound of the Three Kingdoms drama. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a new maid in Jiangdong Sun Mansion.
In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass. She does not have a prominent family background or a golden finger in the system. The only thing she can rely on is the thinking logic she has developed over the years, her observation that is so meticulous that it is almost instinctive, and the history books she has read since she was a child.
She originally just wanted to live peacefully in the clerk's office of the Sun Mansion, and wait for the world's situation to become clear before finding a place for herself.
But a wrongly written word, a map blown by the wind, and a truth she shouldn't have spoken made Zhou Yu see her and Sun Quan remember her.
The wind rises in Chibi, and Jiangdong is in chaos before the war. Cao Cao goes south, and all the ministers have their own thoughts. Xie Yuan sat on the edge of the lamp shadow and finally understood: the so-called history is never a cold line of words in a book, but the ending written by countless people between fear, calculation, loyalty and selfishness.
Later, she left Jiangdong and entered Cao Wei, where she met Cao Pi, who seemed to be wild and uninhibited, with a scornful smile, but in his heart he was very profound and could hide his edge at every step.
A person who is afraid of being sincere, but is the best at seeing through people's hearts.
A very possessive person, but willing to wait for her to get closer.
From a humble maidservant, she gradually became a female counselor who stirred up the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms; from a paper kite that flew in the wind, to a person who can play chess alongside the emperor.
Troubled times are like chess, and all living things are like children.
And she wanted to find a way for herself in the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, and also find a place that truly belonged to her and her own love and freedom.
Intention: Living in troubled times, relying on one's own wisdom to move step by step in the chess game of history, to find love and freedom for oneself.
