Shen Zhiyi, the orphan of the former emperor, has gone through countless reincarnations, each time ending in the tragic fate of blood staining the snow. In the third year of Daqi, the false emperor Zhao Linyuan usurped the throne, bestowing her—disguised as a foolish princess—in marriage to Prince Jing, Xiao Heng. Feigning ignorance, she evaded layer after layer of probing in the prince's residence. Taking the opportunity of disaster relief in Jiangnan, she hid sharp wit behind childish words, joining hands with Xiao Heng to collect evidence of corrupt officials' crimes. Facing the false emperor's interception, poison traps, and schemes of alienation, the two played along to set up a net. On the night of the palace coup, clearing away the treacherous villains, Shen Zhiyi cleared her family of a bloody feud, ascended the throne to establish a new era, conferred upon Xiao Heng the title of Phoenix Consort, and together they guarded the vast rivers and mountains for thousands of miles.
