It is an ancient romance novel that combines intrigue, suspense and affection. The story is set in the Kingdom of Nanzhao, and tells the thrilling journey of Lin Qingxia, the sickly legitimate daughter of the Zhenyuan General Mansion, and Xiao Wuchen, the prince of Anping Prince, who jointly uncovered the truth about the murder in the East Palace five years ago, protected the prince's orphan, and turned the tide of the dynasty.
In the eyes of the world, Lin Qingxia is a frail and sick girl who needs medicine to stay alive; in fact, she is the leader of the mysterious intelligence organization "Qianji Pavilion", who controls the world's secrets and plots thousands of miles in the dark. Five years ago, the Lin family rescued Lin Zhimo, the prince's posthumous son, from a fire in the East Palace and raised him secretly. Since then, they have laid the foundation for the whole family to be executed. When Xiao Wuchen asked Qianji Pavilion for the truth about an old case in the East Palace, Lin Qingxia decisively took over this "hot business" and used a planted sleeve arrow as a guide to cleverly turn the target on the second prince, thus kicking off the court game.
The two went from temptation to trust, from allies to confidants, and fought side by side in many crises such as the palace banquet setup, the bandit suppression in Lingnan, the border mutiny, and the Cining Palace Incident. Lin Qingxia used intelligence as a blade and Xiao Wuchen used power as a shield to jointly uncover the conspiracies of Concubine Li, Ning Guogong and even the Queen Mother, and finally put down the rebellion, vindicated the prince's injustice, and supported the emperor's grandson to succeed to the throne. After the dust settled, the two of them retired and retired to the south of the Yangtze River to guard the "mountain and river spring together".
The plot of the novel is intertwined with each other, with repeated twists and turns, including the thrilling plot of the court and the delicate depiction of affection in troubled times. It shows how a heroine with both wisdom and courage protects her family, country and loved ones amidst the light of swords and shadows.
