In the tenth year of the Jiajing reign, Fang Jingshu, a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, entered the palace from a poor family, holding two things in her palm: a wooden sign with the character "forbearance" given by her father, and a plain handkerchief with the character "forbearance" given by Concubine Cao Duan.
The aster in Kunning Palace withered along with the late empress, and Concubine Li's palace dress with golden zhai pattern showed its power in the candlelight of Chengqian Palace. Palace fights, broken charcoal, cold words, copying of scriptures and edicts... Every step in the palace wall taught her that the word "endure" was easy to write, but bloody to do.
She uses Qingci as a blade to hide her sharp edge in Taoist mysteries; she uses her plain heart as armor to survive in the midst of difficulties and hidden help. But when the Jinyiwei's knife reflected the ruins of Kunning Palace, and the mystery of her father's resignation became entangled in the old case, she finally understood: the moss in Changchun Palace can break the bricks and take root, and her "survival" may also be able to pry open the secrets under the palace wall——
The forbearance on the veil and the determination on the wooden sign will eventually reveal whose sins and unwillingness are revealed in the moonlight.
