On the autumn night of the third year of Yong'an, at the moment when the star fell towards the Chengqian Palace, Shen Xingrou, the daughter of the guilty minister, was being escorted to kneel outside the palace to be punished. The evidence of her father's crime of collaborating with the enemy was overwhelming. She was reduced from a noble daughter of a noble family to a prisoner, and even defending herself became a luxury. When the palace door opened, Xiao Chen's dragon boots stopped in front of her. The emperor in charge of the Great Jing Dynasty had cold eyes but did not immediately issue an order to deal with her. Instead, he left her in the palace and served as the most inconspicuous sweeping palace maid. Shen Xingrou thought this was another kind of humiliation, but she never expected that on countless starry nights in the future, this aloof king would secretly search for clues about old cases, calmly rescue her when she was being challenged by the palace people, and even say to her on another starry night, "I will wash away your grievances for you." From the sinful girl waiting to die outside the palace to the man watching the stars fall side by side with the king, their encounter began with an unjust case, but through each other's temptation and protection, the falling stars became witnesses of injustice and heart-warming.
Purpose: With "the king protects the wronged daughter" as the shell, hiding the core of "justice is not afraid of delay", even in the whirlpool of imperial power and injustice, the truth will eventually break through the haze like the morning light after the star sets.
