Lin Zixi transmigrated into the daughter of a general's household, and thought she could live a quiet, low-key life. But unexpectedly, she was the secret young lover the Grand Princess was keeping outside the palace. Being a lover was bad enough, but then she was poisoned. Powerless and alone, the poor girl had to endure humiliation as she fought the world, the court, and the imperial power.

The exalted Grand Princess watched coldly as her lover made trouble, changed her mind, and wavered in her affections. Perhaps she hadn't tormented her enough. Why was she so impervious to both soft and hard tactics? The Grand Princess schemed for power and influence, only to be completely outmaneuvered by her lover. What was a novice at love like her supposed to do?

She helped her claim the world, cutting through every obstacle along the way without ever regretting it. But she wielded power as though turning clouds and rain, and was ruthless beyond measure. It turned out everyone was just a piece on the board. The greatest lie was wrapped in the sweetest sugar, and a shocking conspiracy began to unfold.

Watch as the startled young lady rises step by step to the highest ranks, until she can command the winds and rain!
