It took Dan Yun a very, very long time to go from being a chess piece to the one moving the pieces.
At first, all Dan Yun wanted was to stay alive.
But later, she realized she wanted more. She wanted freedom, dignity, power, and a life where no one could manipulate her anymore...
P.S.: The heroine seems gentle on the surface, but is cold, proud, and determined inside. A mythological fantasy.
A male lead? There probably is one, but be warned: he's here to be cannon fodder!
There is childbirth, but the heroine is cold, truly cold.
Theme: A life spent striving is the most beautiful.
