By the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, Shen Qingru, a 17-year-old daughter of a salt merchant, lost all her relatives in a fire. In order to find out the truth behind her mother's death, she sneaked into the talent show as the daughter of an old concubine, but the moment she stepped into the Forbidden City, the gears of fate had quietly turned. Emperor Kangxi fell in love at first sight with this face that was identical to that of his deceased concubine, but he didn't know that she had a secret letter from Nanzhao hidden in her sleeve that could overturn the court.
Shen Qingru, who entered the palace as a promise, won the emperor's exclusive favor by virtue of her talent and disguise, but due to an accident, she formed a sworn knot with the Ba Ye Party. Empress Tong used witchcraft to frame her for having an affair with a foreigner, but Kangxi, who loved her deeply, acquiesced in this conspiracy. The mottled cuneiform characters on the walls of the cold palace and the crazy ravings of Lao Ni Miaoyin all hinted that the Nirvana bloodline sleeping in her body was about to awaken.
For revenge and survival, Shen Qingru was forced to practice forbidden techniques using blood as a guide. Whenever she uses her power, her pupils will glow with indigo light, and her memory will be shattered like a broken mirror. Until they meet the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen, who has a phoenix birthmark on his shoulder, the two cursed souls are entangled in hatred and love, but they don't know that their bloodline has long been bound by the previous contract.
