In the third year of Emperor Yong's reign, Shen Qingci, the daughter of the royal censor, was ordered to marry into the Marquis of Jing'an and form a happy marriage with Xiao Jue, a man of great military exploits. This marriage, which everyone admires, actually has a turbulent undercurrent - the old lady thinks she is of a lowly family, her cousin Liu Yuyao harbors revenge, and the third prince is eager to seize power through the Hou Mansion.
After the marriage, Shen Qingci took charge of Zhongfu, but suspicions about a deficit in the account books were revealed, and the couple gradually became discordant due to court disputes. When the irrefutable evidence of the third prince's impeachment of Xiao Jue came to light, Xiao Jue pretended to get close to Liu Yuyao to investigate the case, which caused her to misunderstand her deeply. What's even more fatal is that the poison in the bird's nest and the fire in the bedroom caused her to be "buried" in the sea of fire overnight.
The shattered frost hairpin in the fire hides the shocking secret of the deposed prince's case; the startling glimpse at Jiangnan Bookstore is his regret across thousands of miles. When she fakes her death and confronts him who is obsessed with her, old grudges and court intrigues are intertwined. Can this broken mirror be reunited?
