The heavy snow locks the deep house, and the sea of blood hides the edge. Shen Qingyan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, lost her biological mother at a young age. She saw through the treachery of the back house and the coldness of the family. She endured it for three years, concealed her desire for revenge, and plotted step by step, vowing to find out the truth behind her mother's tragic death. Under the chess game of imperial power checks and balances, an imperial edict pushed her into an abyss, and she was forced to marry the powerful regent Xiao Jue, who killed the cold-blooded regent.
He was a young man whose whole family was ruined, and who ruled the court with his iron-blooded power. He was suspicious and paranoid, and regarded the marriage contract as just a pawn to control the government and the opposition. She was thoughtful, knowledgeable in medicine, and sober and tolerant. She only married into the palace to use his power to investigate old cases. The two pretended to be married, shared the same bed and had different dreams, tested each other and guarded against each other, and got entangled in the undercurrents of the palace and the games in the court.
Difficulties in the back house come one after another, the emperor's schemes are pressing harder, the prince pretends to be gentle and deliberately alienates, and the concubine's vicious plots keep causing trouble. From mutual use to secret love, from breaking up and leaving the party to madly chasing his wife, the two bloody fates are tightly bound together. After experiencing suspicion, tribulation, and separation of life and death, the two uncovered layers of conspiracies, vindicated old injustices, and swept away the traitors in the court. In the past, the cold-blooded powerful officials bowed their heads for love, and the forbearing legitimate daughter took off her guard and joined hands to secure the mountains and rivers so that they could live in peace for the rest of their lives.
