Undercurrents surged under the seemingly peaceful palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The six sons of the late emperor seized the throne and bloodbathed the palace. In the end, the most inconspicuous and gentle sixth prince, Xiao Jingyi, ascended to the throne. Both the government and the public believe that the new emperor is a puppet in the hands of the Queen Mother, and that the imperial power is in danger.
Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anping, has extraordinary beauty and outstanding talents. Due to the prophecy of "Feng Qiqi in the Wutong", she is destined to marry into the royal family. On the surface, she is as gentle as a lotus, harmless to humans and animals, but on the inside, she has a delicate heart and hidden plans. In order to protect the integrity of her family, she hid her true self deeply, preparing to survive carefully in the harem and dealing in secret.
But she didn't know that the young emperor who seemed to be at the mercy of others was actually the most hidden chess player. Jamel Xiao has been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger since he was a child. He saw his brothers killing each other but kept silent, and finally reaped the benefits. He has kept a low profile for many years, appearing gentle and cowardly, but secretly weaving an invisible web just to truly take back the power in his hands.
No one knew that he once met a lost little girl on an autumn night, and her clear and stubborn eyes were engraved in his heart ever since.
On their wedding night, two people wearing perfect masks met: She thought he was a weak king who needed protection, so she hid her edge and only dared to give secret guidance and help silently in the name of gentleness and consideration. He thought she was an innocent noble girl who needed to be protected, so he doubled up his disguise and was only willing to use the power of the emperor to support a carefree sky for her.
They both thought they were protecting each other and faced the wind and rain alone, but they didn't know that every crisis was secretly resolved and every difficulty was quietly overcome, all stemming from another pair of invisible hands.
