Shen Yuan, the number one makeup girl in the capital, has a pair of skillful hands that can change people's faces and imitate their skin, making the fake look real. She never asked her customers why they wanted to disguise themselves, she only accepted the gold without asking about their origins.
Until that day, the current regent Xiao Yan came to visit late at night and handed over a portrait - the woman in the painting was the late emperor's empress and the current empress dowager.
"My king's life, as well as the country of this great beam, are all tied to your hands."
Shen Yuan took over the business and entered the palace disguised as the Queen Mother. But she soon discovered that the Queen Mother was not a weak woman trapped in the palace, but a chess piece about to detonate the court. What frightened her even more was that the way Xiao Yan looked at her became more and more complicated - he seemed to be looking at another woman through her mask.
She made progress step by step, but fell deeply into trouble every step of the way. When the truth emerged, Shen Yuan realized that she was not playing the role of the Queen Mother, but following in the footsteps of a dead man.
The real price of this business was never gold, but her life.
