The motherland fell, the palace was burned to the ground, and Shen Linghui was sent to prison as a life-saving bargaining chip by his relatives. On the day of the siege of the city in flames, she was about to be annihilated along with the old dynasty, but she only managed to save half of her life in the wind and snow.
After wandering incognito for several years, she gathered her talents and plotted step by step. She eliminated the culprit and rebelled against the party with a clear song. Then she disguised herself as a distant relative and went to the surrendered minister Li Shuheng, who was despised by everyone in the world.
Everyone in the world scolded him for betraying Dazhao and bending his knees to serve the new emperor. No one knew that he, who held the high position of Beishuo's minister, was just a puppet of the new emperor. The stigma was his protective armor. He had been dormant for several years, but he never gave up on his plan to restore the country.
As soon as they met in Yuhu, Li Shuheng recognized the subjugated princess who had been rescued by Xue Ye. He remained calm, did not expose the past, and watched with cold eyes as she plunged into court disputes, secretly blocking open and hidden arrows for her and paving the way forward.
Living in Li Mansion, a sea of blood and hatred rests on Shen Linghui's shoulders. She tempered her character in the pull of many forces, and transformed from an abandoned child who was left to be slaughtered to a chess player who controlled the chess game. Every time he came out of desperate situations, it was Li Shuheng who shouldered the criticism in the city and protected him with his own body.
The truth about Xueye's rescue and long-term secret protection was revealed step by step. The two broke the barriers and formed a life-and-death covenant.
She cleverly defeated the treacherous and rebellious ministers, and he spent half his life planning and working together to regain the Jokhang River and Mountains.
When the mountains and rivers returned to their old ways, she ascended to the throne of the Nine-Fifth Emperor. Under the Dan steps, Li Shuheng bowed deeply and solemnly said: "My congratulations, Your Majesty."
Intention: Life is like a chess game. He who knows the game survives, he who breaks the game survives, and he who masters the game wins.
