In the seventh year of the Dayao Dynasty, the suspicion of the sudden death of the late emperor has not yet dissipated, and there is already an undercurrent surging within the palace walls. Lin Wanqing, the daughter of the guilty minister, hid at the bottom of the Shangyi Bureau as the eunuch Aying. Holding the shadow silk handkerchief left by her mother, she explored the maze of the palace step by step.
She is a eunuch who can be bullied by everyone, a sinner with a blood feud, and the leader of the female secret guards who hides in the shadows; he is the idle prince who is ridiculed by the government and the public, the prison king who holds the secret guards, and the most tacit accomplice of the heroine. ; She is the gentle empress of the world, the Beidi masterpiece hidden in the red wall, and the mastermind behind the chaos in the palace; he is the young emperor who seems to be a puppet, the powerful one who forbears the plan, and the chess player who takes advantage of the situation to break the game.
On the red walls and jade steps, everyone has a thousand faces. They look like chess pieces, but in fact they are all playing chess. The shadow silk handkerchief is warm and cool, revealing the deceitfulness of people's hearts; the Jin Palace game is deeply dangerous, overturning the chess game of imperial power. When Ah Ying's mask is revealed, when the queen's conspiracy is revealed, when the emperor's forbearance comes to an end, this chess game that started on the palace wall finally ends with the man in plain clothes playing chess, overturning the world and deciding the country.
