Supervisory censor Zhou Bingzheng, Sanyuan Jidi, emperor humerus, is an iceberg jade ruler known to both the government and the public, and the rule itself.
He abides by etiquette and distinguishes between right and wrong all his life, until he met the young man named "Chen Yu" in the wet mud of Shuanghe Town in the cold spring of that year.
The young man has a pair of extremely clear eyes, which hides an astonishing talent in water control and a desperate determination.
Zhou Bingzheng valued his talents, supported him unconventionally, taught him everything he had, and watched him become famous in the imperial examinations and wear official robes, becoming his sharpest blade and the most suitable chess piece.
He thought he was in control of everything, until that day in the Zichen Palace, he heard that the young man was going to be released——
In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he staked his life's reputation and future with his head as a guarantee.
At that moment, he realized that there were things that had long been beyond discipline and reason, and they were like wildfire.
And Chen Ke's knife has been hanging at his throat.
She is not a "youngster", she is the daughter of the Chen family, a prisoner on death row who took the name of her dead brother and deceived the emperor.
She walked step by step, walking on thin ice, just to protect the crumbling home behind her.
She respected him, feared him, relied on him, and in the end... But hopelessly fell in love with this snowfield that was destined to burn her.
When sincerity meets deception, when guarding violates ethics.
He is willing to fall from the altar for her and burn all the rules and decency.
But she turned around and died for him, sinking her name and love into the middle of the cold lake.
This is a forbidden love that begins with appreciation and ends with destruction.
He fought for her in the court intrigues, and she kept his secrets on the verge of life and death.
Is what the moonlight sees a dead end with cold blades facing each other, or is it a glimmer of hope and hope?
