In the seventh year of Jinghe, the emperor kept secrets in his heart.
After seven years on the throne, Emperor Xiao Yan carried half of a broken hairpin every night, trapped in an old dream.
In order to protect her life, he personally planned to fake his death to escape.
In exchange for gaining power in the court, he lost his beloved Shen Zhiwei.
He searched all over the world, but there was no news. Only a closed room, Clivia, accompanied him in the lonely palace.
There was a huge loss in salt tax in Jiangnan, so he went south incognito to investigate the case.
But in Yangzhou, he met the mysterious female salt merchant Su Wan.
The eyebrows and eyes are similar, and the manners are exactly the same.
Favorite snacks, habitual little movements, expressions engraved in the bone marrow...
Everywhere he looks like he has missed her for seven years.
She is an orphan businesswoman who controls the financial power of Jiangnan and is very resourceful.
He was cold, distant, and secretive, as if he had never known him.
A spring banquet, looking at each other across the table.
He tried every step of the way and became obsessed with it, suspecting that she had escaped death and kept her name anonymous;
She dealt with him calmly, with frost in her eyes, hating him for plotting and covering up her family.
Seven years apart, we met again.
He couldn't recognize her disguise, and she couldn't let go of the blood feud in her heart.
The imperial chess game, the salt tax mystery, the entanglement of love and hate,
The emperor's long journey to find his wife has just turned the most painful page.
