During the Yuanqi period of the Dajing Dynasty, all members of the general Shen Wei's family were executed for "collaborating with the enemy and treason." Only the legitimate daughter Shen Qingci escaped death with the help of a mysterious talisman and hid her name in the Jiangnan water town. Seven years later, she became a famous restorer of ancient books under the name "Su Ling", secretly tracing the truth behind the family's extermination.
At the same time, at the center of the power whirlpool in the capital, Prince Jing Xiao Jinhan, known for his "ruthless cruelty and treachery", appears to be an iron-blooded prince who is addicted to power and has no regard for romance, but in fact he is burdened with an unknown mystery of his life experience and a blood feud. In an accident, a broken jade hidden in the ancient book restored by Shen Qingci actually echoed the token in Xiao Jinhan's hand.
When the orphan girl who is pursuing the truth meets the thoughtful prince, the two of them test and use each other, and gradually get closer in the turbulent court and Jianghu disputes. Shen Qingci discovered that behind the family murder case, there were royal secrets and the "Tianwen Treasure Map" that had been lost for many years; Xiao Jinhan was shocked to realize that Shen Qingci's existence might be the only key to unlocking the mystery of his life experience. And between them, in addition to intrigue and hatred, there was also a love-hate entanglement wrapped up in fate. The snowy night burns the heart, and the love crisis is difficult to overcome. Can they find the truth and a way out for each other in the ashes of the conspiracy?
