Shen Mingzhu: The blind sinful girl whose family was ruined
Xiao Jue: The cold-faced prince who dominates the government and the public
In the winter of the 19th year of Yonghe, Zhenbei King Xiao Jue married Shen Mingzhu, the only remaining orphan girl in the Shen family - a "daughter of a guilty minister" who had been imprisoned in Ciyun Nunnery for three years and was blind. This marriage caused a sensation in the capital, and everyone said that he wanted to humiliate his enemies. Shen Mingzhu stepped into a side door of the palace in her wedding dress. On the surface, she obeyed the cold eyes and torture, but in fact, she endured it secretly, guarding the half of the jade pendant left by her father and the Shen family's undiminished grievances. She pretended to be blind, but she keenly discerned the crisis in the deep house; he seemed indifferent, but he stared at her sleeping face late at night, with a depth that no one could understand in his eyes. When assassins attack at night and conspiracies surround them, the two gradually approach the truth about the fire that killed hundreds of people three years ago amid suspicion and temptation. From prisoners and jailers who took advantage of each other, to allies fighting side by side, they jointly uncovered the shocking shady story woven by the late emperor and his powerful officials. This is a marriage that started with hatred, but in the blood and snow, it tempered deep love and trust that transcend grudges.
