The world is a game of strategy, and the people are its pieces. Even if she defies heaven, Gu Wenbing is determined to be the one moving them.

After returning to the age of sixteen, Gu Wenxue still couldn't save Gu Wenbing from the assassination attempt.

So she tied up her hair, donned a scholar's robe, and took up Gu Wenbing's legacy, representing the Gu clan of Langzhou in court.

She would purge the emperor's inner circle, govern the realm, and destroy Northern Yan!

Qi Xiao, the second son of the Marquis of Jing'an, had loved Gu Wenxue since childhood and had always looked forward to the day they would marry. When he learned that Gu Wenxue had died at Teng Xiu's hands, he came to hate Gu Wenbing deeply.

Later, he discovered that his betrothed had been alive all along. He watched her struggle through hardship and saw her forced to become cunning and crafty.

"From now on, I am your blade. Whoever hurts you will die. Whoever harms you will perish."

As the benevolent saint of Northern Yan, Hanchan Sigu did his best not to think about what happened fifteen years ago.

Until he heard that Great Chu was home to a peerless scion of a noble family named Gu Wenbing.

What a coincidence. He, too, had once been Great Chu's foremost young gentleman, and his surname had once been Gu.

He, too, had once been a chess piece.

[Please Note]

1. This is a plot-focused story with a serious tone.

2. There is a male lead, one-on-one romance, and a happy ending.

3. The heroine was born into an aristocratic clan. As the story progresses, and to protect herself, her originally pure and gentle nature must grow increasingly crafty and ruthless, until she becomes a powerful court official.

4. There are quite a few supporting characters, but I promise the male lead will appear in every arc.

5. Feel free to point out errors, offer criticism, or discuss the story with the author.

6. Finally, a little howl as I beg you to add this to your reading list. Sending hearts!

The next story, "The Emperor's True Nature After Reincarnation", is a lighthearted xianxia tale. The heroine is a docile, innocent little fox at first, then powerful and aloof, while the male lead is an arrogant and overbearing emperor at first, then a devoted husband.
