The chief assistant was assassinated, the army in the north was defeated, and a mysterious "Secret Scroll of Mountains and Rivers" reappeared in the world. It was rumored that it could reveal the fate of the country and overturn the world. Shen Qingci, the daughter of an official minister, appears to be a frail and talented boudoir girl, but is actually the mastermind behind the Jianghu Intelligence Network's "Guanxing Pavilion". In order to find out the truth about her brother's death in battle, she married into the crisis-ridden Zhenbei Palace in the name of marriage.
