The story begins with a forced marriage. Shen Zhiyi, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Palace, was forced to marry into the East Palace on her behalf because her sister-in-law escaped from marriage, and became the nominal concubine of Prince Xiao Che. Xiao Che was cold and strict, and regarded this marriage as a political burden, so he drew a clear line with her on their wedding night.
Shen Zhiyi originally wanted to keep a low profile to protect himself, but due to a crisis at a palace banquet, he unexpectedly revealed his extraordinary wisdom and lost medical skills, which attracted Xiao Che's attention. The two went from being roommates wary of each other to allies fighting side by side in the court conspiracy. He admired her intelligence and tenacity, and she saw the responsibility and loneliness beneath his cold exterior.
The relationship heats up in crisis after crisis: he blocks the poisonous arrow for her, and she defends him. When the biggest political enemy targeted Shen Zhiyi and revealed her confusing life experience, Xiao Che did not hesitate to use his position as prince to make an enemy of the world, completely tearing off the pretense of calmness and self-control.
In the end, the two work together to clear all obstacles. He ascended the throne as emperor and left the six palaces vacant, fulfilling his promise of "hiding the beauty in the east palace, the only one in this life". This is not only a sweet love story, but also a legend of two lonely and powerful souls who end up becoming each other's armor and weakness in a turbulent world of intrigue.
