Shen Yan, a modern history student, transformed into the concubine of the Yong Dynasty Crown Prince Shaofu, and was put under house arrest in disguise at Wangshan Villa on the outskirts of Beijing. A poisoning crisis forced him to get involved in the chess game between the crown prince and the second prince. Relying on his historical knowledge and Machiavellian thinking after a thousand years, he started by clearing out informants in other courtyards and taking advantage of the opportunity to clear up connections, and gradually stepped into the center of power in the capital. Using an inkstone as a pen and wisdom as a blade, he protected his relatives and broke the deadlock in the game between the court and the rivers and lakes. In the end, he grew from an inconspicuous bastard to a behind-the-scenes chess player in charge of the Great Yong Dynasty. This is a collision between modern thinking and ancient power, and it is also a young man's counterattack from survival to seeking a country.
