There are undercurrents surging in the deep palace. Princess Mingyue's marriage became a key piece in the power game between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and all of this fell into Lu Zhixing's eyes.
He and Xiao Mingyue grew up together since childhood. One was the legitimate son of the general's mansion, and the other was the princess of the deep palace. Now, he is the emperor's most trusted minister, and she is the princess trapped in the marriage situation. When the Queen Mother's party presses harder and harder, the childhood sweethearts have to work together to break the situation.
Lu Zhixing dealt with the Gu family in the previous dynasty and secretly plotted the plot; Xiao Mingyue was in the deep palace, pretending to be cowardly with the Queen Mother, collecting evidence. From the Xishan night banquet to the inspection of the Prime Minister's Mansion, from the Yongfengcang case to the mysterious case of Dalin Temple fourteen years ago, they cooperated internally and externally, and worked step by step.
"Mingyue, when this matter is settled, I will ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage."
"This journey, this deep palace cannot trap me, I will fight side by side with you."
As the truth gradually emerged, they discovered that the Queen Mother's secret was far more shocking than they imagined. In the test of intrigue and love, can two people who have known each other since childhood work together to break through the fog, protect each other, and protect the country?
This is a story about childhood sweethearts fighting side by side and protecting each other in the turbulent power struggle. Let's see how they find their own way in this chess game.
