She witnessed Xiao Jinghong's transformation from a trapped beast to a queen, swirling in the whirlpool of intrigues, and turning her psychological wisdom into a weapon to break the situation. When the "Auspiciousness from Heaven" strategy was successfully implemented, a counterattack to subvert the imperial power began. At the end of the story, she returns to modern times with the thrill of ancient times, but is shocked by a piece of news that the thread of fate still tightly connects her to that world...
