In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was undercurrent. Shen Zhiwei, the daughter of a historian from a scholarly family, decided to change her name to "Shen Qing" and sneaked into the crisis-ridden East Palace as a reporter when her father was falsely accused of treason and her family was wronged. She is calm, intelligent, and good at strategy, and she only wants to find out the truth and clear her name.
Xiao Che, the prince of the East Palace, looks as gentle as jade, but in fact he hides a dark belly and is deeply involved in the whirlpool of seizing the legitimate heir. He had long been aware of the collusion between foreign relatives in the DPRK and China, intending to subvert the imperial power. When Shen Zhiwei appeared, it was like a ray of light tearing through the fog. The two understood each other tacitly and hit it off immediately. With her keen insight, she collected intelligence and made suggestions for him; he provided her with shelter in the court of swords and swords, helping her get closer to the truth step by step.
From cases of imperial examination fraud to evidence of foreign relatives collaborating with the enemy, they jointly launched a series of shocking conspiracies. However, the price of truth is heavy. On the night of the palace coup, Shen Zhiwei risked his life to deliver key information to Xiao Che. In the end, Xiao Che fought the rebellion with blood, killed his relatives, and became Zhaoxue, Shen Zhiwei's father. The new emperor ascended the throne, implemented the New Deal, and created a prosperous era. And although she died, she created an immortal legend with her wisdom and sacrifice.
