The Yong Dynasty was a prosperous and prosperous age with undercurrents surging.
Shen Yanzhi, a gentle and jade-like Hanlin editor, is also a lonely minister who bears a blood feud. An old ancestral inkstone engraved with the word "Shou" is his only key to overturning the case. The cold light on the bottom of the inkstone points to the shocking injustice.
Su Wanqiao, a master of ancient books who lives in the "Shiguang Pavilion", disguises herself as a man and repairs the remaining scrolls with bare hands. Her father's last words before his death, "The scrolls are not paintings, they are mountains and rivers" dragged her into the vortex of a secret treasure that has been lost for centuries.
Xiao Che, a romantic and laid-back prince, has eyes all over the government and the public, and watches the situation with a smile. He chuckled while playing the chess piece, inadvertently stirring up fate, and saw Shen Yanzhi's forbearance and Su Wanqiao's mystery.
Hanlin's secret documents were stolen, and mysterious symbols appeared in the remains of the fire scene. The three of them met in the mist due to their respective obsessions. From temptation to trusting each other, they followed the inscriptions on old inkstones, codes on fragments of scrolls, and whispers from old friends, and they deepened step by step.
The aristocratic families in the imperial court are eager to seize the "Mountain and River Scroll" that controls the lifeline of the dynasty; murderous intent is everywhere. Looking through ancient books and exploring relics, we unravel not only the injustice of the Shen family and the death of Su's father, but also the mystery of the late emperor and the imperial map.
The inkstone hides the mountains and rivers, and the universe is hidden. Above the ancient history, what is written in ink may be lies; deep in the heart, what is written in blood is the inscription.
When the pleasure of overturning an old case collides fiercely with the responsibility of guarding the mountains and rivers, the inkstones, scrolls, and chess games in their hands will eventually point to the same answer:
——The history of Qing Dynasty is not written in ink, but the human heart forms the mountains and rivers. The truth is only between persistence and choice.
