On a night of heavy rain, Gu Wanyue, the maid of Yihongyuan, accidentally came into contact with the corrupt account books of the Honglu Temple Minister. Every word written under the secret script was evidence of the crimes of the powerful and powerful. When Xuan Yiwei's blade cut through the rain curtain, she clutched her account book and stumbled away. A cup of hot tea from Zhou Mingyuan, the old shopkeeper of the medicine shop, became the only glimmer of light in her escape.
Half a bronze fish talisman, a secret key, the dusty past in the secret room of the medicine shop and the conspiracy in the court are quietly intertwined. The appearance of Su Ruoli, the daughter of the Yushitai, brought about a turning point, but also made the situation more complicated and confusing; the cold-blooded leader of the Xuanyi Guards, Shen Qianjue, pressed forward step by step, but he actually hid an unknown secret.

When the bronze key is inserted into the keyhole, the secret room opens not only evidence of crime, but also a shocking secret about betrayal, redemption and persistence...
