In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the fourteen-year-old Mingyue Ye was selected to enter the palace for his art. His fingertips were covered with tortoise shell armor to protect his delicate hands, and he was promoted to the palace by playing the pipa "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation". At the same time, Wu Zetian selected him as a talented person and hid in the inner court with books in his arms. The fate of the two heroines intertwined in Ye Ting, one with "beauty" as the blade, the other with "wisdom" as the shield, and they went together to the "Bushao Tribulation" - the blood-stained road to promotion, where youth and power collided, which would eventually rewrite the chess game of the Tang Dynasty.
