In the winter of the third year of Yongchang, on a snowy night, two girls from the Shen family were born. The legitimate daughter Shen Zhaohua had a bloody mole on her palm and was called a "phoenix", but her mother died in childbirth; the concubine Shen Mingyue was born with strange eyes and was denounced as a "nemesis", and her biological mother Liu was reduced to a lowly maid. A wandering Taoist priest left behind a ominous prophecy that "if two phoenixes enter the palace, one of them will die." From then on, the fate of the sisters was entangled like a chain.
Eighteen years later, the draft became a storm. Prime Minister Shen forced the sisters to exchange identities - Shen Zhaohua became the maidservant of the Huanyi Bureau, while Shen Mingyue entered the master's house in the name of his legitimate daughter. Deep in the palace, Shen Zhaohua was tempted step by step by the emperor Xiao Jingheng and discovered that his own blood could trigger the secret technique of the previous dynasty; Shen Mingyue was deeply involved in Cui Guifei's poisonous chess game, and the strange pupil of his left eye gradually became a snake-like vertical pupil.
The prophecy after the abolition of the cold palace, the baby's skeleton in the dry well, the fragments of the blood edict from Jing Yao's reign... As the supernatural power awakens, the two sisters find that their pain is connected and their memories are intertwined. When Prime Minister Shen colluded with the Northern Territory to raise troops, and when the emperor revealed the secret file of "twin female regicides", they finally faced the bloody truth: they were orphans of the previous royal family, and they had been sacrificed for conspiracy since birth.
On the night of total lunar eclipse, the imperial city rebelled. Shen Mingyue swallowed the Gu King and transformed into a snake-eyed Shura. Shen Zhaohua's blood ignited the altar flames. The last sentence of the Taoist priest's prophecy emerged in the fire - "Nirvana can only be seen when a true phoenix bathes in blood."
