After a car accident on a rainy night, Yun Zhaoyao transformed into the "guilty daughter" in the book. She thought she knew the direction, and planned to save herself by following the familiar passage; but she didn't know that there were three people in this city who had also traveled through the same route - strangers to each other, unable to see through each other, and they were all sure that they would hold the outcome:
Shang Wanning (from the Queen Mother lineage) used her palace and speech field to win over people's hearts;
Gu Ziheng (Qing Dynasty) moved the balance with his reputation and regulations;
Qin Ji (General Department) kept a close eye on the supplies and military preparations at the frontier.
The four people were in opposing camps and took action one after another, each "revising" the story. The situation veered all the way: old accounts turned out to be undercurrents, the wind was blowing on paper in the city, the smiles in the palace concealed knives, and the sound of drums on the border approached. Yun Zhaoyao quickly understood that if she wanted to survive and live decently, she had to put executable arrangements, credible allies, and affordable costs on the table, and be sure of every step of the way, instead of counting on the "plot" to open the door for her.
The cold and powerful Prime Minister Shen Yanzhi first played with her and then stood side by side: he gave her boundaries and support, and she gave her paths and solutions; the two went from testing each other to sharing responsibility, and between necessary compromise and necessary persistence, they slowly let each other into their own choices. The Queen Mother has no blade, but she makes mistakes everywhere; relatives, favors, military affairs, and winds are intertwined into a web, and someone has to pay the price for every advance or retreat.
In the end, the "original books" carried by each of the four time travelers collapsed at the same time: some held the bottom line, some were swallowed up by power, and some turned around and rewrote their positions. Yun Zhaoyao is neither a saint nor a chess piece - she learns to change the chessboard on the chessboard; and he is willing to shield her from the wind outside the blade.
Purpose: In the game between power and people's hearts, adhere to the system and evidence, so that goodwill can be followed; repair the rules with professionalism and mutual trust, not only achieve individual success, but also protect everyone.
