The moon brocade in the hands of the female corpse in the palace hides the most dangerous secret of the previous dynasty - "As the bead appears, a prophecy will arise."
In order to investigate the cause of the death of her best friend, Pei Qingxian, a female officer of the Shangfu Bureau, was forced to form a life-and-death alliance with the Forbidden Army general Wei Chizheng and King Wen Li Chongmao. Following the guidance of the "Xuanji Map", the three of them broke into dusty forbidden areas, only to discover that the so-called national treasures were actually the emperor's heirs living among the people, and the mysterious map was actually a list of secrets that could subvert the court.
Empress Wei's iron fist, Princess Taiping's bronze fish talisman, and the gold mark left by a mysterious third party - multiple forces are waiting around like evil tigers. When the dead bones in the mercury secret room pointed to the Longmen Grottoes, and when the last words "Pearls are not pearls, pictures are not pictures" revealed the shocking scam, they finally touched the core of this chess game in which the fate of the Tang Dynasty was the bet.
And the true face of the chess player is far more terrifying than they imagined.
