Shen Mingyu "died" three times in the deep palace: blocking the emperor's arrows at the palace banquet, burning his body in the cold fire of the cold palace, being hunted and falling off a cliff without leaving a trace. Every "death" was the prelude to her changing her vest to investigate the Shen family's murder case - from Master Liao Chen in Jingxin Nunnery, to Palace Maid Ayu in Huanyi Bureau, to the counselor surnamed Su in the court, she worked step by step, but she didn't know that there were always a pair of eyes behind her watching every move she made.
Xiao Jingyun seemed to be indulging in the pain of losing his wife, but in fact he had already seen through all her disguises. When she was planning her fourth "fake death", he personally handed over the poisoned wine, with a knowing smile on his lips: "My beloved concubine has been acting for so long, it's time for me to get involved."
The poisonous wine enters the throat, and the truth is suddenly revealed. It turned out that he had withheld it for three years to find out who was behind the Shen family's old case and was colluding with foreign enemies; he cooperated with her drama just because he was afraid that she would be in danger alone. From the cold palace to the cold palace, from the court to the arena, they are empresses who test each other, comrades who work together to break the situation, and in the situation of life and death, they hide deep feelings that they dare not express.
When the dust finally settled in this machinations drama with "death" as the curtain, they could see the light in each other's eyes that had never been extinguished.
