In the troubled times where intrigues and rivers and lakes are intertwined, a game between two powers with golden thread as the recruiter and the heart as the game is quietly unfolding.
Xiao Che, the current King Su, holds the military power in the capital, is a cold-faced and iron-blooded person, and is a feared presence in the court. On the surface, he is distant and ruthless, but in fact, he hides his strategy and tenderness. When he met Shen Mian for the first time, he only regarded her as a dangerous chess piece; but in the step-by-step confrontation, he was impressed by her tenacity and ability to outwit thousands of armies. In the end, he was willing to give up and go into seclusion, just to protect her stability for the rest of her life.
Shen Mian, the number one oiran in the south of the Yangtze River, the most dazzling pearl of Jinlu Pavilion, could charm the city with her smile and wither all bones. However, no one knows that she is the person behind the mysterious intelligence organization "Purple Stone Pool". Bearing the blood feud of annihilating her family, she uses her beauty as a blade and intelligence as a web to dance on the tip of the knife. Meeting Xiao Che was a trap set by fate, but also the beginning of redemption - from testing each other to trusting each other in life and death, she learned to embrace trust and love in addition to hatred.
The two went from "falling in love and killing each other" to soul resonance, and worked together to break down the intrigues in the court and the grievances in the world. Between power and true love, they used the golden thread as their job and made an oath not to care about the country, but only about each other.
