Synopsis:

In the chess game of troubled times, women hold the pieces to determine the country

The Zhao Dynasty was in turmoil, with treacherous ministers in power, foreign enemies watching, and the people suffering.

Five women with different identities – the chivalrous woman Wu Meihui, the daughter of a merchant Liu Xun, the doctor and poisoner Lu Benjuan, the master of secret guards Mo Ya, and the downtrodden noblewoman Shen Lan – were involved in court disputes because of a conspiracy.

They used the “Chonglou Pavilion” as their base, and with their wisdom and martial arts, they tore through the conspiracy fog, from harem struggles to frontier wars, from disaster relief to uncovering the conspiracy to usurp the throne, and finally joined forces to help the righteous king ascend the throne and rewrite the rules of troubled times. 68 episodes of high-energy reversals, each episode is a game of life and death, and each frame is a soul-burning scene!

Main Characters:

Five female protagonists are very interesting, and all of them are “not easy to mess with.“

• Wu Meihui (Jianghu Swordsman × Hidden Background): As cool as the wind, she cuts off the grudges of the Jianghu with one sword, but is forced to join the game because of family secrets. On the surface, she is against heaven and the earth, but she values ​​love and righteousness, and she blocks the knife for her sisters at the critical moment.
• Liu Xun (Zhetang daughter × Accounting Maniac): She has silver bills in her left hand and an abacus in her right hand, and she will never do anything that can be solved with money. She seems to be greedy for money and afraid of death, but she spends a lot of money on the victims. Her famous saying is: “You can earn money if you lose it, but you can’t get your conscience back if you lose it!”
• Lu Benjuan (Cold and Beautiful Female Doctor × Poisonous Hand Guanyin): She practices both Miaojiang Gushu and Qihuangshu, and saves people and kills people in a moment. She looks distant, but she is willing to test poison to save her sisters, and the contrast is full.
• Mo Ya (Mysterious Secret Guard × Ceiling of Force): Silent and taciturn, his moves are always killing. Originally a pawn of the royal family, he later rebelled against the Secret Guard Camp due to the sincerity of the five female protagonists and became the team’s “strongest bodyguard”.
• Shen Lan (Blackened Noblewoman × Powerful King): After her family was destroyed, she transformed from a little white flower to “Niu Hulu Lan”, and was good at taking advantage of the situation to stir up the court. Classic lines: “Either step on me to get to the top, or win with me.”
