Su Wan, a minor female official in the cold palace, wrote the anonymous political novel *The Prosperous Game* out of disgust for the corruption in the court. The book directly criticizes the officials' inaction and even coincides with the secret of Empress Chu Zhao's near-persecution years ago. After reading it, Chu Zhao realized the author was the girl who saved her from the chaos of war. She sent people to find the author while deliberately spreading the novel across the court—officials were collectively upset because their pain points were exposed, yet they didn't know the mastermind was the “useless person in the cold palace” they despised. When Su Wan was brought before the empress, Chu Zhao ran her fingers over the old scar on Su Wan's wrist and smiled: “When did the little girl who blocked the knife for me become the pen that pierces the court?” And Su Wan, looking at the威严 yet gentle empress, finally understood that what she wrote was never a novel, but a heart that had been hidden for ten years.
