On the left side of the river in Wei and Jin Dynasties, powerful clans are in power, and chess games are everywhere in Wuyi Lane.
Xie Weiyuan, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, was engaged by the clan and sent to the Huan family for marriage.
Huan Jing was ambitious and unpredictable, and this marriage was a naked exchange of interests from the beginning.
Unwilling to become a sacrificial pawn, she planned step by step in the deep house, tracked down the beetles in the farmland, used her strength to mediate various forces, tried her best to postpone the engagement, and sought a way to protect herself.
After a meeting at Zhuyin Temple, she met Xiao Heng, a member of the clan.
He seems to be idle and inactive, but he has been secretly planning for many years, bent on breaking the monopoly of the noble family and opening up a path for promotion for the common people.
The two have opposing positions and conflicting goals, but they reach an agreement time and time again amidst the storms and leverage each other's strength.
The concubine covets marriage and secretly plots against her; the Huan family presses harder and harder, waiting for opportunities to exert pressure; and the undercurrents in the court are turbulent.
On one side is the Xie family, which is connected by blood, and on the other side is the grand plan to subvert the old order.
The wind and rain swept through Wuyi Lane, and she slowly woke up amidst the many difficulties:
True stability never relies on marriage and asylum.
Women can also hold chips and control their own destiny.
When the wind blows, the chess game opens up. Let's see her break away from her fate and find her own way forward.
Purpose: Miss from an ancient aristocratic family, smart, nothing else
