As a close servant of the previous emperor, Lin Ji's life was indeed not easy after the change of dynasties.
At the critical moment, she hurriedly took advantage of Zhongshu's assistant Chen Xi, and gained a stable life through rumors with him. However, one thing always remained in her heart. When the Chen family was convicted, she was the one who ransacked the house. What was even worse was that she was the only person in the world who knew the whereabouts of the former prince.
For Lin Ji, life is not a wilderness, but full of deep pits. She had to dig and fill the pits step by step, eventually building up a mountain.
Intention: Dig soil and fill holes to eventually become mountains.
