Modern Chinese studies PhD Jiang Zhaoyue transmigrates into the prodigal princess of the Zhenbei Marquis Manor. The original owner was framed by the Junior Vice Minister of the Rites, disguising herself as a man to buy a top scholar. Holding the military power of the Jiang family while also bearing the title of top literary scorer, the emperor views her as a fatal dead end meant to be eliminated. To save her life, her father forces her into an arranged marriage. At a poetry gathering, she dazzles the prime minister's son Li Chengyuan with poems through the ages, and the two reach a cooperation. She takes the literary giant Lin Guanlan as her master, moving step by step with caution in the Golden Throne Hall. On one side, she thoroughly investigates the truth of the imperial examination fraud, and on the other, she maneuvers between the forces of the emperor and Prince Jing, calculating the entire civil and military court of officials with three moves of chess.
