The mountains and rivers are broken, and the country of Wei will fall. In order to save the clan from danger, Jiang Ciyou, the former golden branch and jade leaf, took off her fine clothes, concealed her real name, and transformed into a maid A Huan. She followed her personal maid Jiang Ling who replaced her identity, and went to the capital of Dayin together to become the concubine of Prince Xiao Jingsheng.
Under the red makeup, it is not a match made in heaven, but a startling chess game at every step. The cold-faced prince has an unpredictable mind and hides a knife in his smile; the eyeing King Qi sets traps everywhere and is full of murderous intentions; he is scornful and difficult in the backyard of the palace, walking on thin ice.
The true princess hides in a humble place, uses her peerless appearance as her armor, her exquisite mind as her blade, and listens to the thunder in a silent place. She not only needs to protect the cowardly "princess" behind her, but also needs to find a glimmer of hope for her motherland in the turbulent court struggle. The secrets of the military and the country that she accidentally peeked pushed her into the center of the storm.
When temptation turns to attention, when calculations mix with heartbeat, when a cold contract meets fiery protection...
The danger of overthrowing the country, the beautiful appearance of the city, the ingenuity of the people and the desire to survive collide fiercely in this magnificent cage. Can she keep her true heart in the chaos, and how can she find a way out with the world at her mercy?
This is a stand-in puzzle that dances on the tip of a knife, and it is also a deep palace legend that struggles between conspiracy and true love.
