In the first year of Taiping, the new emperor was young, and the eldest princess Xiao Qingluan came to serve as regent. She was famous in the world, but she was trapped in the whirlpool of power and intrigue, walking on thin ice. She is the most noble and loneliest woman in the Dayin Dynasty. Under the Splendid Palace, there is a turbulent undercurrent and murderous intent.
In the same year, Xie Liuyun, a talented girl from a poor family, disguised herself as a man, passed the third yuan, and was appointed as the number one scholar in the new subject in the Golden Palace. Dressed in white, she entered the court with stunning talent and beauty. She had great ambitions and wanted to use pen and ink to help the world and bring peace to the people, but she didn't know that she had already become a piece in the chess game.
An imperial examination fraud case closely entangled the fate of the two people. The eldest princess needs the sharpest knife to cut through the fog; the female champion needs the most stable mountain to realize her lifelong ambition. From allies who test each other and get what they need, to confidants who walk side by side and depend on each other for life and death.
She is at the top of the Nine Layers Palace. She is her master and her armor, protecting her from open and hidden arrows and protecting her all the way to the top.
Between the purple robe and jade belt, she is her courtier and her think tank, strategizing for her to win the battle thousands of miles away.
They join hands to break the confusion, clear up the political agenda, and reform the long-standing shortcomings. But as they grew closer, feelings arose that they shouldn't have. Is it the deep love between sisters, or is it beyond the bounds of etiquette? Is it a political marriage or a sincere commitment?
Old grudges from the previous dynasty, scheming in the harem, wars at the border, counterattacks from aristocratic families... The million-word long scroll slowly unfolds to see how the two Shu can not only denounce Fang Qiu and rule the country, but also protect the deep love in each other's hearts that cannot be tolerated in the world.
This is a love song that begins with intrigue and ends with sincerity.
