She was a pawn planted by the new emperor, but she was the sword in the hands of the deposed prince.
After ten years of lurking, Jiang Xunyue thought that she was a top-notch craftsman, silently recording the "downfall" and "incompetence" of the deposed prince Xie Yan.
Until that snowy night, she discovered a shocking secret - every piece of information she had delivered in the past ten years had been annotated and tampered with by Xie Yan, and then turned into poisonous bait for the new emperor through her hands.
She went from predator to prey.
What makes her even more frightened is that the most favored concubine in the new emperor's harem, Xie Wantang, who personally destroyed Xie Yan's mother's clan, was actually a killing move sent to the palace by Xie Yan ten years ago.
Once you wake up from the dream, you will be surrounded by enemies on all sides. The new emperor's butcher's knife hung above his head, and Xie Yan's eyes were piercing.
In this deadly situation where the country is at stake, how can Jiang Xunyue, this insignificant abandoned child, break through the tight siege and carve out a bloody path for himself?
Under the wind and snow of the abandoned prince's palace, a secret war to subvert the imperial power has begun.
Purpose: To protect the glimmer of humanity in the deadlock of power struggle. Identity can be used and destiny can be manipulated, but who you choose to be is always in your own hands. A tribute to all the ordinary people who struggle to survive in the darkness but never give up on themselves and conscience.
