Everyone in the world laughs at Song Shu Ruan, the legitimate daughter of the general's palace, who is ugly, frail, cowardly and useless, and is the most unworthy noblewoman in the capital.
But no one knows that this frail body, which has been eroded by poisons and tortured all year round, hides a sober and independent modern soul.
She was trapped in a deep house for three years, enduring every step and suffering every day.
The stepmother Liu was hypocritical and vicious. She secretly poisoned her to destroy her figure, deliberately weakening her edge, and wantonly embezzled the rich dowry of her biological mother, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, to cover up the truth of the old case.
I can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore.
On a cold night in the middle of winter, Song Shuruan broke through the confinement and escaped from the cage-like gate on a rainy night.
The pursuers behind him are chasing after him relentlessly, and the killing orders are every word bone-piercing. The road ahead is vast and there is nowhere to stay.
In the desperate jungle, she encounters the prince Wen Xuheng who fled in panic after the East Palace collapsed.
One person escapes from the purgatory of fighting in the house, and the other is trapped in the whirlpool of the court. Both of them are in desperate situations and have no way out.
He is well versed in the intrigues of the court and the treacherous nature of people's hearts. He is her greatest reliance on investigating old cases and fighting against her enemies.
She holds the wealth and secret connections of the Shen family in Jiangnan, and is the key trump card for him to hibernate and accumulate strength, break the situation and be reborn.
An encounter at the right time, an unspoken deal.
There is no tenderness like falling in love at first sight, only a well-matched and step-by-step approach.
They are each other's pawns, hold each other's bargaining chips, contain each other, rely on each other, and navigate step by step in the turbulent court and family disputes.
Everyone in the world thinks that they share weal and woe and are deeply affectionate.
Only the two of them knew that staying together was a matter of weighing the pros and cons, an involuntary pull and game in a chess game in troubled times.
