share time: 2026-02-28 00:38:29

Su Wan, the last "Calculator" of Qimen (a secret society of strategists), disguises herself as a street swindler to clear her master's name—he was wrongfully accused of treason and killed. But her first scheme is foiled by Gu Zhao, the ninth prince who acts like a playboy but is investigating court corruption. He makes a deal: help him expose the villains, and he'll help her solve her master's case. From rivals who trick each other to allies who have each other's backs—Su uses Qimen's illusions to crack a silver theft case, while Gu shields her from the mastermind's assassins. Yet when the truth comes out, her master's death is linked to the injustice of Gu's mother's clan, and their real enemy is a Qimen traitor who's controlled the court for over a decade... When imperial power clashes with Jianghu wit, in this game within a game, who will fall in love first, and who will win in the end?
