Inheriting the dynasty, Luo Ning is a lady who comes from an aristocratic family. She is gentle and quiet on the outside, but she carries an unknown secret on the inside - she is the descendant of the hidden family "Huanxin Pavilion" and shoulders the important task of guarding and finding the lost treasure "Tracing Origin Brocade". This brocade can not only trace the origin of all things, but also connect the secret lifeline of the rise and fall of the dynasty. In order to sneak into the Regent's Mansion, known as the "Nine-layered Pavilion", to search for clues, she used her unique "dream weaving technique" to carefully weave a nearly perfect false identity, but unexpectedly, she accidentally fell into the sight of the Regent Xiao Jingyan, who was known as the "Jade Faced Yama".
Xiao Jingyan, who holds the power of both the government and the public, holds the military talisman and the imperial guideline in his hands, his mind is unfathomable, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle. He was full of curiosity and scrutiny of Luo Ning's appearance, but in repeated confrontations and tests, he was attracted by her quiet wisdom, fearless calmness in the face of danger, and her occasional sincerity.
When the dream weaving skills of "Huanxin Pavilion" gradually surfaced, and when the secret of "Tracing Origin Brocade" involved the bloody storm deep in the palace, Luo Ning and Xiao Jingyan, one was a dream weaver with a mission, and the other was a person in power with insight into everything. Between them is the struggle between identity disguise and defensiveness, the pursuit of the truth and the budding of emotions. When all the illusions are torn apart, when all the disguises are removed, can they weave a wonderful life that subverts their destiny in the chaos of troubled times, or is it just an unfinished dream?
