The Dayin Dynasty, in the 127th year of the Xuancang era, was in turmoil. The heroine of the Hou family was originally a carefree daughter of a harem, but after a serious illness, she gained the ability to "see dreams". She can foresee the future in her dreams, and control the good, bad, and good fortune. However, the price of this ability to peer into dreams is that every time you peek into the secrets of heaven, you will suffer a "nightmare backlash", which can range from mental depression to loss of all five senses, or even endanger your life!
In order to protect his family and his beloved, the protagonist resolutely embarks on a path of intrigue that uses dreams as a blade and stirs up the court. She uses the foreknowledge of dreams as a chess game, the human heart as a chess game, and every step of the way, she battles wits with traitors, competes with powerful ministers, and fights against fate!
But as she climbed to the pinnacle of power step by step, she found that she had already fallen into the quagmire of nightmares and was unable to extricate herself. Those who were used and sacrificed by her, those bloody truths, those irreparable regrets, were like maggots on the tarsal bones, devouring her every midnight...
Can she break free from the shackles of the nightmare and find her original heart? Can we weave a truly prosperous chapter for ourselves, our family, and the world in these troubled times?
Intent: The game between the shackles of destiny and the light of human nature, asking the price of spying on the secrets of heaven - should we sink into the machinations given by foreknowledge, or should we break the situation with our flesh and blood and weave a sober life without regrets?
