In the Forbidden City that goes against common sense, time flows like amber, words can be condensed into beads, and memories can be woven like clothing.
This twisted three-dimensional labyrinth palace complex is suspended between heaven and earth. Its golden roof reaches nine levels into the sky, and its thirteen layers of underworld penetrate deep into the ground. There are two completely different architectural structures during the day and at night. Every word and action in the palace may be collected into "word pearls" by the "sound collector" to reproduce the content of the conversation.
When a drop of dragon marrow jade dew drips from the dragon vein column, the young heart weaver Su Jiang is involved in a conspiracy that can subvert the thousand-year imperial power. Here, the Huangji Pavilion controls the government, the Heart Weaving Bureau weaves people's hearts, the Soul Weaving Bureau controls memories, the Tingzheng Yuan collects secrets, and the mysterious Memory Craftsmen Guild can reshape the historical truth.
Su Bai discovered that as emperors of the past dynasties absorbed the dragon's energy, the sleeping dragon soul was awakening and resisting. Carrying Concubine Ling's secret entrustment, she must find the truth in the overt and covert struggle between the inheritance faction and the reform faction, while resisting the erosion of the dragon's energy on herself.
However, when she comes into contact with a deliberately hidden memory, a terrible truth emerges: the foundation of the Forbidden City is crumbling, and the price of saving it may be the soul of the person she cherishes most.
In this world where words are pearls and memories are woven, who can keep the truth in their hearts? Who can break free from the web of fate?
