Shen Wan, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, once enjoyed great favor, but was schemed by her half-sister Su Qing for ten years—her engagement was stolen, her reputation ruined, and even the man she loved became a tool of her enemies, finally being reduced to a stepping stone under others' feet. Despaired, she met the fifth prince Xiao Mo, who was neglected by the imperial court and bided his time. The two, both underestimated, developed a tacit understanding, shifting from secret support to joint conspiracy, outwitting enemies step by step and breaking the yoke of fate. After storms and bloodshed, Shen Wan finally counterattacked to the empress position, avenging ten years of humiliation and seizing her own life with the dignity of a mother of the empire.
