Sixteen years ago, the door collapsed and the smoke cleared. The orphan Su Zhaoying was left in the world and was fostered in the Zhenguo Palace. She suppressed her sharp edges and pretended to be meek and modest, and she was involved in the disputes in the back house. No one knew that she was hiding an old secret that had been gathering dust for many years and affected both the government and the public.
The Prince of the East Palace, who was deeply involved in the dispute over the throne, crossed paths with her due to a series of mysterious cases.
