Chapter 1 a Dream in the Cold Palace

Du Zi, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo in the Zhou Dynasty, was innocent and kind in her previous life, and mistakenly trusted her concubine Du Wan and her fiancé, the third prince Li Rui. Eventually, her family was falsely accused of treason and her entire family was executed. She was also drunk with poisoned wine and died tragically in the cold palace. When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn three months before the tragedy. At this time, her father, Duke Zhen, was seriously injured in a plot at the border, and the family's reputation was in jeopardy; the concubine was pretending to be close, but in fact she was conspiring with the third prince to seize the military power of the Duke's palace; political enemies in the DPRK and China were also waiting for the opportunity. With the blood feud and the memory of the prophet, Du Zi completely lost his weakness. On the surface, she is still the gentle and dignified eldest lady of the Duke's Palace, but secretly she has transformed into the most astute chess player. She took advantage of the information gap to preemptively uncover the evildoers in the mansion and rescue key witnesses; she cleverly designed to expose the affair between her concubine and the third prince to the public in advance, thus tarnishing her reputation. As the investigation deepens, Du Zi discovers that behind the family tragedy, there is actually a huge conspiracy against the imperial power. In the end, the BOSS is the chief minister of the dynasty who seems to have nothing to do with the world but is actually extremely ambitious. Time is running out, the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. Du Zi must find a balance between protecting his family, revenge and helping Lu Chenzhou crush the conspiracy. As a woman, she circulates inside and outside the court, using wisdom as a blade and human hearts as a chess piece to dismantle the enemy's layout step by step, save her father and brother, and take back everything that belongs to her. In the end, she not only made all her enemies pay the price, but also helped Lu Chenzhou settle the chaos with her unparalleled wisdom. She also grew from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered to a legendary woman who can truly influence the court situation and control her own destiny.
