Shen Shiyan disguised herself as a man for twelve years, and went from being the orphan of a guilty minister to a powerful supervisory censor, just to find out the truth behind the death of her father and brother in battle. Seeing that the mastermind behind the scenes was about to surface, an imperial edict granting a marriage pushed her into a desperate situation - the emperor actually wanted to marry the charming eldest princess to her.
Flowers and candles in the bridal chamber are the time when one's identity is exposed and everyone is executed. Shen Shiyan carefully planned it, waiting for the princess to retreat when she saw the difficulty. But the eldest princess, who was rumored to be ignorant of world affairs, sent a strand of black hair on the eve of her wedding, along with a letter: "Censor Shen, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
What she thought was a seamless disguise seemed to be visible to the person next to her from the very beginning. And are the eldest princess's loving eyes that hide secrets a murderous knife, or is she the only way to survive in a desperate situation?
