Seven years ago, there was a fire in Taifu's Mansion, and the entire Shen family was wiped out. Ten-year-old Shen Zhiwei escaped from a secret passage holding an old account book - it was a relic given to her by her father, and it was also ironclad evidence that Prime Minister Wei Song had collaborated with the enemy and was corrupt.
In the same year, the secret guard camp was purged. Fifteen-year-old Xiao Jingyuan knelt in the imperial prison, watching his father drink poisonous wine. The late emperor's secret edict contained only eight words: Protect the king and guard the cauldron until death.
Seven years later, in the autumn of the third year of Jian'an.
She changed her name to Shen Yan, disguised herself as a man, and entered Prince Jing's palace as a staff member in white. In a military pay case, he turned around the deadlock with three words and became famous in one battle.
He changed his name to Xiao Lingyue, disguised himself as a woman, and lurked in Cining Palace as a female official. Copying scriptures and burning letters, weaving nets for the harem.
First meeting at the palace banquet. He poured tea to test it, and she talked and laughed to resolve it. As they passed each other, each had their own thoughts - no one recognized anyone else's secret, but they all remembered the other's.
The court is divided into three parts, and the relatives have all the power. She is in the light and he is in the dark. They join forces in the distance and serve as sharp swords for each other. From blocking the concubine to robbing the prison, he murders every step of the way. The heartbeat grows secretly, but they all think that they are in love with the wrong gender.
Until that desperate situation, her long hair was scattered in the light of the sword, and his figure was no longer hidden in the bloody light——
"Who are you?"
Machiavellian tactics are a game, and identity is a gamble. One fire burned their way out, and another fire burned out until dawn.
