share time: 2026-02-08 12:36:18

Shen Zhao, a concubine's daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, swore "I'll seek power, not love in this life" after her mother's clan was wrongfully executed. Disguised as a strategist, she infiltrates the Eastern Palace to help Crown Prince Li Zhan defeat the powerful外戚 (imperial in-laws) and suppress border rebellions, becoming his most trusted advisor. But the seemingly cold Li Zhan had long known her identity—secretly investigating her family's massacre and shielding her with his body when she was in danger. Just as Shen Zhao starts to let go of hatred and plan a future with Li Zhan, she discovers that the mastermind behind her mother's clan's downfall was Li Zhan's late mother... Torn between love and hatred, power and true heart, what choice will she make?
