The two heroines tell the story of two peerless girls who met and got to know each other in completely different life trajectories, and finally worked together to overturn their destiny.
Jiang Jinsi, the only daughter of the Jiang family, showed amazing swordsmanship at the age of seven. To hide her talent, she transformed into her adopted son "Jiang Qi". The world only sees her as a playboy and a doted swordsman, but they don't know that she is the best swordsman in the world. The red hairband is bright and flamboyant, and her secret is hidden under the cynical smile.
Murong Xin, the princess of Prince Anning, was born on the edge of imperial power. She hides her wisdom in her clumsiness, her wisdom in her stupidity, and acts as a mediocre shadow in the deep house. Only Midnight Candlelight knows that the strategy in her heart is enough to shake the court. Silent as water, unfathomable, her light was hidden in her lowered eyes.
At a sword appreciation party, two worlds that should not have intersected quietly collided. Jiang Qi's deliberately restrained sword moves were actually seen through by Murong Xin, who was rumored to have "mediocre qualifications"; and only Jiang Qi could get a glimpse of Murong Xin's hidden wisdom.
When disguise meets disguise, when secret touches secret, an encounter that started out of curiosity gradually evolves into a connection that changes each other's destiny. In the undercurrent of the struggle for imperial power and the strife of aristocratic families, they must carefully guard their own secrets, but unknowingly become the only existence that each other can be honest with.
This is a story about concealment and discovery, disguise and truth. When the brightest light meets the deepest darkness, when the wantonness of genius meets the dormancy of wisdom, how will they tear apart the layers of masks and carve out an unprecedented path for themselves and each other in the crisis-ridden capital?
