In the Huiyao Empire, where glory and shadow intersect, the frail and sick prince Xiao Lan uses his illness as a mask to secretly investigate the truth behind his brother's sudden death and the palace's many conspiracies. Queen Roland, who firmly believed that her son was only "infirm", secretly entrusted the mysterious organization "Night Owl" to her in order to clear the way for her to ascend the throne, violating the empire's laws strictly prohibiting "witchcraft". An Yueyao, Ye Xiao's top mage and the eldest daughter of Duke An Guo, was summoned to join the game. She has red hair and golden eyes, carries a secret, and is good at magic that is considered taboo. She seems cynical but has someone she must protect. A commission that started as a "person search" quickly evolved into a game at the pinnacle of power. An Yueyao approaches Xiao Lan as a "guardian" and "monitor", and the two test, attract and cooperate with each other amidst the cloud of suspicion filled with the fragrance of blue snow orchid. The imperial church, aristocratic forces, mysterious priests, out-of-control magic, dusty past events... All clues point to a huge conspiracy that can subvert the dynasty. This is a suspenseful love story that wanders between lies and truth, loyalty and betrayal, healing and destruction. The two will work together to uncover the dark truth and compose a powerful empire legend.
