"Secret Records of the Tang Dynasty"
In the Zichen Palace in the ninth year of Yonghe, an anonymous letter revealed the bloody past three years ago——
Shen Zhaohe, a female official of the Shang Palace Bureau, spends all day in the company of yellowed files. She thought she was just a "spectator" in this deep palace. Until a secret letter with a sixteen-word prophecy appeared, peeling away the layers of the beloved concubine's death, the prince's life experience, and the strife in the harem. A good concubine was banned, a palace maid died mysteriously, and an imperial doctor mysteriously disappeared... All the clues pointed to the same old case that was buried by the royal family.
And when Shen Zhaohe followed the file clues, she discovered that every page of the file in her hand contained a key that could open the nine-layered palace.
Is Concubine Xian the real culprit or the scapegoat? Why was Concubine Chen, who died in childbirth three years ago, said to be a "civet cat for a son"? Among the four princes left by the late emperor, who is the real owner of the dragon chair? And each of those seemingly insignificant rumors and rumors accurately penetrates the most fragile cracks in power.
Here is——
[Palace Fight] The four concubines stand in a powerful position, each with their own plans. Who is controlling the situation behind the scenes?
[Secret Love] The secret feelings in the palace, are they sincere or a chess game?
[Reversal] What you think is the truth is just the appearance that others want you to see.
[Melon-eating Perspective] A female official who is responsible for "archiving" will take you to watch the most secret storm in the Tang Dynasty's harem.
This is a story about a "recorder" and a "secret letter" written to everyone in the palace. Rumors will dissipate and case files will turn yellow, but some secrets are destined to be heard again through the dust.
If you ask who is the best liar in this palace——
