Time Travel: He is My Dad!

The lone walker on the chessboard

Late at night, the palace remains ablaze with lights, yet beneath the surface, a turbulent undercurrent surges. Within and beyond the palace walls, the struggle for power rages like a dance on the edge of a knife; a single misstep could lead to a plunge into an abyss of irretrievable destruction. But Princess Shen's gaze has long transcended the immediate conflict. She seeks a larger strategy, a leverage powerful enough to change the entire situation.

She gripped the secret order tightly in her hand, without a trace of hesitation. At this moment, all the lies and betrayals, all the plans and strategies, began to converge into a powerful force, propelling her forward, towards the top that did not belong to her.

A pair of eyes behind.

However, behind this huge conspiracy, there was someone who had been observing silently. Although Princess Shen tried her best to hide her thoughts, her every move and every slight change in expression would be captured by those seemingly indifferent eyes.

"Princess, are you really ready?" Li Ming asked calmly while standing in the dark, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"What are you ready for?" Princess Shen smiled slightly and turned to look at him. Her eyes were calm and composed, without any fluctuations.

"Are you ready for what's coming?" Li Ming's voice was low, as if concealing some kind of warning.

Princess Shen's heart trembled, but she did not show it. Instead, she replied calmly, "Everything is under control."

Li Ming's gaze deepened. He knew that Princess Shen's heart was no longer simple. She was not just planning a situation, she was already fighting for an unshakable position for herself. And this position could not be easily shaken by anyone.

"I've always felt that the princess's scheming is far beyond what this palace can accommodate." Li Ming whispered.

"So?" Princess Shen turned around, her tone still calm.

"Therefore, the princess may not be able to dominate everything as easily as she planned." Li Ming's words became heavier and heavier, as if containing some kind of self-evident pressure.

"Are you afraid of me?" Princess Shen chuckled, turned and walked to the window, looking at the palace wall in the distance.

"I'm not afraid of you," Li Ming's voice was filled with an inexplicable sigh. "What I'm afraid of is that you will make everyone think you have won, while ignoring the real enemy."

Princess Shen was slightly stunned, then turned to look at him, "The real enemy?" She whispered to herself, her eyes becoming deeper.

"Yes, Princess. The enemies outside are certainly formidable, but the truly dangerous are often the people around you." Li Ming sighed softly, "You may not realize that there are so many people in the palace who are not only your enemies, but also your allies. You must be careful about who is your true friend and who is waiting for the opportunity to stab you in the back."

Princess Shen's heart sank slightly, Li Ming's words stirring ripples within her. Every person and every face in the palace could harbor countless calculations and undercurrents. She knew that any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

Conspiracy in the night.

Princess Shen's plan had already begun its countdown. Through clever tactics, she had misled external forces into believing she had completely surrendered, perhaps even willing to cooperate. However, the reality was far from perfect. Far from being powerless, she had cleverly exploited her enemies' underestimation to construct a complex counterattack.

Following Li Ming's suggestion, she secretly mobilized the power of her trusted associates in the palace and began to implement a series of preparations. Just when she thought everything was under control, she suddenly received a secret letter.

"Princess, be careful, Li Ming has the intention of betraying you." The letter was short and straightforward, almost making Princess Shen's heart skip a beat.

She calmly put the letter down, her gaze growing colder. Li Ming, someone she had long trusted, had become a betrayer? Who was behind all this conspiracy?

Sudden betrayal.

Just as Princess Shen was about to launch a counterattack, Li Ming's betrayal suddenly became apparent. He quietly mobilized a personal guard in the palace and took action quietly before her plan could be implemented.

"Princess, Li Ming has entered the palace with his personal guards. His movements are extremely fast." A guard rushed to Princess Shen's side, his tone panicked.

"What?" Princess Shen raised her eyebrows, a chill rising in her heart. She immediately stood up, ready to personally investigate this sudden threat.

However, when she arrived at the palace gate, she saw that Li Ming and his guards had already sealed off the entire palace. He had a sneer on his face, and it was clear that he had already prepared everything.

"Princess, it seems all your plans are just this." Li Ming's voice was low and sarcastic. "This game should be dominated by me."

Princess Shen took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Li Ming, do you really think you can control everything?"

She stepped forward, a cold glint in her eyes. "You're just a pawn on the chessboard. How can you dominate the situation? Do you think you can use these guards to counterbalance all my power?"

Li Ming's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected Princess Shen to be so calm. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have fallen into a trap she had set long ago.

"Did you start it first, or me?" Princess Shen asked coldly.

"You...are you threatening me?" A hint of hesitation flashed across Li Ming's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "In that case, let's see who will be the final winner."

At this moment, Princess Shen sneered and waved her hand. Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded outside the palace. Then, countless guards rushed into the palace and surrounded Li Ming's guards.

"Li Ming, I've seen through your chess game long ago," Princess Shen said calmly. "You think you can control everything, but you're just a small pawn in the game I've set up."

Li Ming's expression changed, and fear gradually emerged in his eyes. He realized that he had completely lost the initiative. Princess Shen had already grasped the victory.

A grand drama in the palace has come to an end.

With Li Ming's betrayal exposed, Princess Shen's plan was successfully implemented. Order was restored to the palace, and the conspiracy of external forces was completely dismantled. She sat at the pinnacle of power and became the true ruler.

Yet, despite this victory, Princess Shen felt no sense of elation. She knew the Game of Thrones was far from over, and she would face an even more complex situation. She would continue on this path, fraught with traps and conspiracies, until she ascended to the throne.

"This is just the beginning." She whispered to herself, a deep light flashing in her eyes.
