An ambitious prince who plots to seize power x a reserved Hanlin Academy scholar
The crown prince's regency throws society into turmoil. The emperor summons his second son, Lin Bin, back to the capital after raising him away from court, making him the second candidate for the throne. He assigns Duan Muchuan, a Hanlin Academy scholar, and Prime Minister Yu Hongzhong to assist Lin Bin.
Caught up in schemes and shifting circumstances, the second prince Lin Bin and Duan Muchuan unexpectedly become connected.

Neither realizes that their humble feelings cannot withstand the unpredictable forces of the palace. Their paths in life are already intertwined, but how things unfold is beyond their control.
