The second daughter of the Hou Mansion, Shen Mingshu, was hiding behind the scenes, but was involved in the whirlpool because of her sister Shen Wanqing's imperial examination recruitment. Pei Yanqiu, the number one scholar from a poor family, fell in love with Shen Wanqing at first sight, while Xiao Jinghuan, the prince of the East Palace, who was the invigilator, locked eyes on the smart and cunning figure disguised as a man in the crowd.
Chen Yuerou, the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, colluded with the third prince Xiao Jingcheng to interfere in the attempt to disrupt the marriage. Shen Mingshu, with the secret help of Xiao Jinghuan, saw the tricks, and the two gradually fell in love during the confrontation of power.
From the poisonous needle in the wedding dress to the trap in the court, from the intrigue in the backyard of the deep house to the undercurrent in the depths of the palace, Xiao Jamghuan protected Shen Mingshu behind him time and time again, and promised affectionately: "Your enemy is also the enemy of this palace."
When Shen Mingshu put on the phoenix crown and became the crown princess, even bigger conspiracies followed one after another - the mystery of her life experience gradually emerged, and her grudge with Xiao Jingcheng was also completely revealed.
Shen Mingshu and Xiao Jinghuan worked hand in hand to overcome the cholera epidemic, border wars, and brotherly rebellion. He slaughtered all the enemies for her, and she shielded him from dangers. The words "If we want to live together, if we want to die together, die together" express their deep affection.
From the crown prince to the empress of the world, she bloomed into the most dazzling rose in the whirlpool of power and love under Xiao Jinghuan's preference as a legitimate daughter, writing their legend of the prosperous age.
