The daughter of a sin slave, the shadow of the deep palace. The first lesson that five-year-old Xiao Mingyue learned in Yeting was holding a hot copper stove without daring to shrink her hand, understanding the copper leak that reminded her of her life, and her mother's concubine's weeping warning: "Live like a shadow, silent and breathless, so that you can breathe!" After ten years of pretending to be an idiot, she stole knowledge in her humble status and hid her edge under her "stupidity". In the twelfth lunar month, General Shen Kuo's reputation for beheading enemy chieftains shocked both the government and the public, and ignited the emperor's deep fear. An imperial decree conferring marriage threw her, a "powerless and dull" chess piece, into the spotlight. The mother-in-law died of the fear of seeing the truth, and her admiration was wiped out by the cold calculation of the emperor. Marrying into the Shen family and respecting each other as ice? Husband's outer room? She prefers to stay in the cage given to her, earning a world for herself. When the chess game becomes turbulent, a cold glint suddenly appears in the eyes of the former shadow princess - this time, she will break the chess game and burn down this cannibal palace! From an abandoned child in the palace to a chess player, her road is destined to be paved with blood.
Purpose: To show the counterattack of the daughter of a sin slave from "shadow" to "chess player", and to reveal the awakening and struggle of women under the oppression of feudal imperial power.
