During the day, he works as a handyman in the imperial dining room chopping onions, but at night, he works as the mysterious makeup artist "Ou Xian" who is popular in the capital.
When he dyed the lips of the Ninth Five-Year Master, he smelled the secret fragrance of regicide from the powder - the imperial rouge had the same origin as the pastry that disappeared from the imperial kitchen.
In this deep palace where food and beauty are both bargaining chips for power, a box of rouge can overwhelm a country, and a spoonful of lotus root powder can kill a king.
Watch how he uses the dressing table as a chessboard and makeup as a clue to draw his own way of survival amidst the emperor's mind and the secret battle in the harem.
