Chu Ningyue transmigrates into the body of an illegitimate daughter planted in the palace as a pawn, bound to a villain system that forces her to provoke the tyrant to buy herself another day of life. To fool everyone, she wraps herself in a shell of arrogance and cruelty, speaking sharp words while inwardly she yearns for the famously ruthless and suspicious emperor's beauty. What she does not know is that the man she calls "tyrant" can hear her every thought, and he is slowly discovering a truth that shakes both his throne and his heart.
