Set in the imperial court, The Phoenix Palace Mystery tells the remarkable story of Su Yao, a daughter of a prominent Jiangnan family who enters the palace as a consort candidate.

As the investigation deepens, Su Yao repeatedly faces danger, and Li Yifeng risks his life to save her time and again. Together, they confront conspiracies and schemes from every direction, gradually uncovering the vast plot hidden behind the murder amid constant peril.
