In the late spring of that year, he was Xiao Jingyan, the unknown twelfth prince in the palace, and he was Lin Jingshu, the brightest companion around him. Under the red wall, they shared an intimacy and vow that no one knew existed.
However, the imperial power was divided and storms came suddenly. After an elaborate trap, the Lin family collapsed and the pavilion was stained with blood. He had no choice but to watch his best friend put on the shackles and disappear into the smoke of exile. At that moment, the young prince put aside his innocence and swore a blood oath in the dusk of Guying: He would ascend to the supreme position and avenge his injustice.
In the cold winter of that year, he was assassinated and assassinated while in exile. In the chaos, he fell off a cliff and lost his memory. The former astonishingly talented Yushi Gongzi transformed into Su Qingyan, an independent student in the Valley of Forgetfulness. The hermit master gave him all his money, carved jade, and endowed him with talents that span the world and the wisdom of insight into people's hearts.
Many years later, Su Qingyan, a new scholar in science and technology, stepped into the turbulent capital. He thought he was an outsider, just looking for an answer.
Prince Rui Xiao Jamyan, who was on patrol incognito, caught sight of that strange yet familiar face in the vast sea of people. Testing, dealing with, confirming - the old friend returned, but no longer knew each other.
He made him his adviser and placed him at the center of a power struggle. He went around the court for him and calculated all the secrets. On the way to face the open and secret attacks together and work step by step for the Lin family case, the fragments of memory and the cracks of emotion are revived at the same time.
When the pain of the past is intertwined with the deep affection of the present, and when the boundaries between chess players and chess pieces gradually blur, how can they keep each other's true heart and commitment in the turbulent struggle for imperial power?
