Her uncle usurped the throne, and Princess Zheng Zhiyue of Xingyang lost her loved ones overnight. Even her childhood sweetheart and fiancé Pei Yun was exiled thousands of miles away.
The new emperor is just waiting to find a "good marriage" for her and sell her for the highest price.
Five years later, she set her sights on Shen Xue, a new Jinshi who came from a poor family, had no power, but was extremely talented.
Such people are best to win over and control.
She paved the way for him, rescued him, and sent him into the court step by step.
He bowed his head and was willing to be the sharpest knife in her hand.
They each get what they want, and they will never be tempted by what they agreed to do.
Only Shen Xu knew that before entering Beijing, he had seen Zheng Zhiyue from the portrait collected by his master Pei Yun.
He also knew that every time he came close, he would be called a traitor.
At first, Zheng Zhiyue thought she had recruited an obedient chess piece.
Only later did I discover that this gentle and elegant new scholar not only competed for power, but also fought for favor, was jealous, and pretended to be pitiful.
If she takes a step forward, he will worry about gains and losses; if she takes a step back, he will push forward.
It wasn't until the old engagement, imperial power calculations and worldly prejudices stood in front of her that she finally understood——
Someone came to her through the shadow of an old friend, but they never thought of becoming anyone's substitute.
He wants her trust, her sincerity, and that she only loves him in her life.
