Su Yue, a modern female college student, accidentally fell asleep while working on her essay in the library. When she opened her eyes, she turned into Xia Zhixi, the second lady of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion - a puppet wrapped up in power and conspiracy. The adoptive mother threatened her with poison and ordered her to enter the palace and assassinate the young emperor Yin Heng, otherwise she would die in March. But on the dragon bed, the emperor's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and the sound of "Yue'er" shocked her, as if an old dream from her previous life was coming back to her.
In the deep palace with red walls, she not only had to deal with the open and secret arrows of the noble concubines, but also had to hide the poison-tempered dagger under the emperor's fiery gaze. The mysterious swordsman Xiao Che disappears and appears intermittently, and the strange symbols carved on tree branches after being drunk are exactly the same as the codes in her memory. What's even more bizarre is that the tattoos on Yin Heng's chest and the tablets enshrined in the Zen room all point to a life-and-death entanglement that spans time and space.
When the phoenix seal glows with a warning blue light, when the poisonous wine from the Winter Banquet and the bloodstains in the cold palace are connected in a network, Su Yong gradually uncovers the shocking secret: some people use her as a knife, some treat her like medicine, and the emperor who is a Buddhist in the palace may be the most obsessive trapped beast in this reincarnation chess game.
On the one hand, there is a step-by-step assassination mission, and on the other hand, her heartbeat becomes increasingly out of control. Su Yue has to struggle between the torrent of history and her personal destiny. Should he kill the innocent emperor in exchange for his return, or risk his life to subvert the chess game? Under the bloody moonlight, a mystery about betrayal, redemption and paradox of time and space is quietly emerging from the dark river of the palace...
That must be pursued
