It has been ten years since the new dynasty was established. Under the prosperous age, the old hatred of the previous dynasty is still smoldering.
She is Shen Zhiwei, who lurks in the East Palace in the name of the orphaned daughter of a guilty minister. In fact, she is a princess of the former dynasty who bears the blood feud of restoring the country. She is an expert in medicine and poisoning agencies, and she works every step of the way just for revenge.
He is Xiao Che, the current prince, who is as gentle as jade. He protects her under his wings, warms the stove, makes sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and personally trains her in horseback riding and archery. His extreme pampering seems to promise her a stable life.
Yuexia's vow of love was still in her ears, but she accidentally discovered the secret in his study - he had known her identity, and the approach was just a conspiracy to lure the snake out of its hole.
Sweet pets become sharp edges, sincerity and calculation are indistinguishable. She pretended to be submissive, but he seemed to notice but became more gentle, and even contradicted the emperor for her. During the remnant coup of the previous dynasty, he laid a dragnet, but secretly exchanged her poison; when the emperor ordered her to die, he actually asked the deposed prince to guard the mausoleum in order to give her a chance of survival.
When the news of "accidental death" came, the former phoenix pattern pendant engraved with the word "Che" in the coffin revealed an even more shocking secret - his identity was far more complicated than she imagined.
How much sincerity is hidden in this encounter that started out as a calculation? Can they find a glimmer of hope amidst the strife and fateful entanglements in the palace?
