Shen Qingxu, the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo, was taught by her mother since she was a child: "You are not Shen Qingxu, you are the dignity of Duke Dingguo." She entered the palace at the age of fifteen to be selected, only to realize that she was just a pawn sent by her family to the palace. During the years in the palace, she watched with cold eyes as all the women had their own agendas. In the late night whispers across the wall, she understood that she had already been targeted by the public. At the night banquet in Xiyuan, I saw Xiao Zhi, the prince of the Northern Territory in the distance - that man was a hostage to the Southern Territory when he was young. After returning, he sat alone in a corner and no one paid attention to him. Two people who couldn't help themselves, looked at each other from a distance in a dimly lit place, and a fate was born from then on.
Over the years since then, after experiencing palace changes, imprisonment, life and death, she and Xiao Zhi have gone from looking at each other from a distance to standing side by side, from being involuntarily to living for themselves. Gu Changyan was secretly in love until death, Su Wan used his time-travelling body to find a place of destiny, and the twelve flower envoys each experienced love tribulations - when the snow fell on the court, let's see how they broke the shackles and lived their own lives in an era of strict ethics.
