In the thirteenth year of Yongchang, a pair of twin sisters were forced to separate. The elder sister Shen Zhaohua became a palace puppet, walking on thin ice under the control of the imperial concubine; the younger sister Shen Zhaoning lived in the market and worked hard to run a shop, but was on the verge of desperation due to debt.
An assassination reunited the sisters, and a contract intertwined their fates. Zhao Ning went to the palace on behalf of Zhao Hua, while Zhao Hua turned into a businesswoman to pursue old cases.
She learned her decisiveness, and she understood her forbearance.
However, when the concubine's conspiracy, the prime minister's ambition, and the secrets of the previous dynasty surface one after another, how should they respond?
"Twin flowers share the same fate."
"Yesterday's shackles are today's blades."
