The gentle and affectionate legitimate son of the prime minister's palace × the eldest daughter of the former imperial concubine and now the daughter of a criminal minister appears to be gentle but is actually ruthless.
In the 120th year of the Great Yong Dynasty, the late emperor was kind but weak, and the people lived in fear of oppression by the northern barbarians. The general who ruled the country took the opportunity to arouse public anger and promised that if the people supported him in proclaiming himself emperor, they would have peace and prosperity.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was afraid of the power of Taifu Zhongliang, so he framed him for restoration and massacred the entire Shen family.
Fortunately, Shen You was rescued by her childhood sweetheart Xie Yan and escaped with her life. She used to be a golden girl but became an orphan on the run.
She concealed her edge and stayed dormant, using the power of the Prime Minister's Office to secretly plot revenge, making friends with old subordinates, recruiting scholars, overturning rumors in the court, and gradually uncovering the emperor's mask of hypocrisy.
With the turmoil rising one after another, Xie Yan paved the way for her, helped her bridge the gap, betrayed the family for her, and severed the relationship between father and son.
He can see the tenacity in her and the mission in her, so he will not stop her and become her greatest help on the road to revenge.
The two men worked step by step to stir up the chaos of the pseudo-prosperity, uncovering the new emperor's policies that seemed to serve the country and the people but actually cost money and lives, making the new emperor infamous.
At first, she only wanted to clear one family and clear away the grievances of the whole family. In the end, she actually accepted the crime imposed by the new emperor, restored the orthodoxy of the previous dynasty, and overthrew the tyrannical puppet dynasty.
Even though she harbored great ambitions and aspired to power in the world, Xie Yan remained true to her original intention and always followed her, spending the rest of her life accompanying her throughout the mountains and rivers.
Purpose: Why do we want to restore our country?
