The world-famous appearance is her cage and also her blade. Su Qiwu, the prime minister's legitimate daughter, was destined to be the "future crown princess" from birth and was trapped under the embroidered curtain. She was shocked when she picked up the wedding dress at a Mid-Autumn Palace banquet. The mystery of her mother's death three years ago still lingers, and she is forced to be involved in the turbulent whirlpool of seizing the heirloom. The emperor issued an edict and locked up the palace as a hostage. It was called teaching, but it was actually to restrain his uncle who had a heavy army. The gorgeous Zhaoyang Palace is filled with murderous plots at every step: poisonous wine plots, assassins' night spies, and the prince's obsession... King Mu's ambition, King Huan's affection, and King Xuan's cold eyes are all pawns and variables in her chess game. Su Qiwu lost her delicacy and used her beauty as a shield and intelligence as a blade. In the bloody storm of the Nine Palaces, she vowed to tear apart the prison cage, find out the real murderer of her mother, and carve out a way out for herself. See how Hongzhuang turns her hand into a sword, and composes a thrilling swan song at the top of this man-eating imperial power.
Intention: beauty is the blade to break the chess game, wisdom and courage are both in charge of destiny.
