On the night when Princess Li Zhaoyang of Nanzhao escaped from marriage, she broke into a conspiracy and was silenced. She fell off a cliff and lost her memory. She was adopted by the people and renamed Yunshu.
Five years later, she disguised herself as a man and was admitted to the Imperial Academy, the highest institution of higher education, with the top honors from a poor family, just to find out the truth about her life experience.
Here she meets two men who confuse her:
One is the mysterious and unpredictable school inspector Qin Yu, who has repeatedly scrutinized her and secretly protected her.
One is Qin Yuan, a classmate whose life experience is a mystery. His face is covered by a mask, but he shares her life and death with her.
She didn't know that these two people were the same person. He didn't even know that the key to the princess's disappearance that he was tracking down, and the "close friend from a poor family" whom he truly admired and fought to protect, were actually the "deceased" princess.
In order to find out the shocking conspiracy in Jiangzhou, the two were ordered to become "wind watchers" and work together to go deep into the tiger's den. On the edge of life and death, trust and suspicion are intertwined. When the layers of camouflage peel off——
She discovered that her classmate was a school inspector and also the prince of an enemy country.
Only then did he realize that his best friend was a woman, and that this was also his lifelong obsession.
