Lin Qingyue, the concubine of the Emperor's Master's Mansion, became the substitute for her sister-in-law with a marriage certificate. The person she married was Xiao Jingheng, the rumored to be weak and weak. A substitute marriage that was destined to be left out in the cold was the beginning of a conspiracy deep in the palace.
In the palace, the concubine is watching with eager eyes, and the monthly silver coins hide murderous intent; in the court, the prince is pressing closer, and the wind in Wenyuan Pavilion is quietly changing. The cause of Concubine Rou's death is a mystery, old cases from the past are undercurrent, and every relic is an unsolved mystery.
She and him went from the cold temptation of contract marriage to the secret trust of life and death. In the deep palace like a chessboard, every move is a calculation, and every look at each other hides an unspoken chess move. The eye in the dark follows like a shadow, mysterious warnings follow one after another, and the sapphire jade pendant and the phoenix gold hairpin connect the secrets spanning two generations.
When the truth emerges, she must make the final choice between family, love and the world - whether to become a chess piece or a chess player; whether to live in the sycamore tree or burn to nirvana.
