Qian Zijin, daughter of a convicted official, was sent to the palace service at eight.
She endured ten years, rising from the laundry to become a record keeper in the Palace Service Bureau, relying on patience, perceptiveness, and an optimistic outlook.
She has one wish: to clear her family's name and restore its honor.
Wu Heyan is a close attendant to the emperor. Apart from Wei Jin, everyone in the palace fears him.
After the entire Wu family was convicted, he was the only one left alive. The emperor kept him close for two reasons: as the heir of the Northern Frontier, he could help bring the three hundred thousand border troops under imperial control, and he could serve as the emperor's right hand.
He was the one who had confiscated the Qian family's property all those years ago.
By imperial decree, she was bestowed upon him.
Core theme: Do not give up when trapped in a cage. Save yourself with intelligence and reach others with sincerity. Clear the old case, settle old debts, and return to an open-hearted life
