The story takes Sheng Wu's early years and one year as its context.
On the day when the new emperor ascended the throne and the Yuan Dynasty was changed, three officials died mysteriously. It turns out that someone behind the scenes took advantage of the unstable foundation of the new emperor to create a poison case and stir up trouble in the court. Although the heroine's father, King Wei, was also poisoned, he escaped by chance. However, his daughter Meng Shanshan vowed to find the insider, trace the truth, and catch the person behind the scenes.
She entered the investigation to investigate the case, and witnesses were silenced one after another, and the clues were cut off one by one. The people behind the scenes laid out their plans layer by layer. The poison murder case, the ration case, the marriage case, the plague case, and the girl's case involved multiple crises in the court and the border. The heroine traces the border from the capital and successively thwarts her opponent's plans, thus allowing the people behind the scenes to set up a dead end to get rid of her.
The bigger the chess game gets, the deeper the crisis becomes. She deals with checks and balances in the whirlpool of the government and the opposition, breaks the chessboard against the odds, and finally suppresses the rebellion. The story ends in the tumultuous early years of the Yuan Dynasty.
