In the Zhenguo General's Mansion, a sudden change broke the peace. Lin Yuelian became pregnant out of wedlock, and there were royal secrets involved behind her. She died after giving birth to a child despite all her efforts, leaving only her youngest son Lin Yunqi, whose life experience is a mystery. Lin Huaian endured his grief and adopted his nephew, but he didn't know that this decision would drag the Lin family deeper into the court whirlpool.
At the same time, in order to show his benevolence, the emperor gave the former eldest princess Yuan Ji to Prime Minister Yan Wenqian. When Yuan Ji stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she fell into the complicated relationship between her mistress Xu Qingyin and Yan Wenqian. She endured the humiliation and struggled to survive in the undercurrent of the house. The noble status in the past was in sharp contrast with the current situation of being dependent on others.
As time goes by, Yan Ruoxue, the daughter of Yuan Ji, turns out to be gentle and intelligent, but due to her special status, she has been living in seclusion in a deep courtyard for sixteen years. When she finally stepped out of the hospital and met young general Lin Yunqi, the gears of fate began to turn faster. Lin Yunqi, who was decisive in killing on the battlefield, could not help himself when facing Yan Ruoxue, and Yan Ruoxue was also attracted by his loyalty and bravery during the contact.
However, in the court, the struggle for the throne between the prince and the princes became more and more intense, and both the Lin family and the Yan family were involved. Lin Yunqi has repeatedly made military exploits but is feared by others. Yan Ruoxue's life experience may become a weapon for political enemies to attack at any time. Under the dual test of power and emotion, how should everyone make a choice? When will the royal secrets hidden in the palace be revealed? A story about love, hatred, and power struggle begins here.
