The imperial palace's phoenix crown is mysteriously stolen, and undercurrents ripple through the court. A sudden commotion caused by a fall from a building at Zhiyue Tower draws Lin Wangshu, the marquis's legitimate daughter; Gao Jiangyue, a female official of the Jingcha Bureau; Nie Yu, a mysterious masked assassin; and Yan Siyuan, an official of the Dali Temple, into a game of intrigue. As various factions vie for power and false clues abound, a seemingly accidental disturbance leads to the tangled mysteries of court politics and the fall of the previous dynasty. Forced into an alliance, the group searches for the truth amid lies and murderous intent. The bonds of fate hidden in the smallest gestures and the secret schemes buried deep within their hearts will gradually tear back the curtain of darkness as the mystery of the phoenix crown is unraveled.
