The world’s balance of power is shifting. Who says only men can inherit the throne? Yuan Ziji was a member of the imperial bloodline, born outside the palace. From childhood, her mother taught her that if she didn’t want others to control her, she had to take her fate into her own hands. Yet it seemed that the moment she entered the capital, she had already stepped onto this enormous chessboard. Would she become a pawn at the mercy of others, or the player moving the pieces behind the scenes? She set her sights on the highest seat of all.
Theme: Women are not fish trapped in a pond or birds caged in a cage. Women can inherit the throne too, in accordance with the Mandate of Heaven.
