A phoenix hairpin was broken under the glazed steps of Daming Palace.
When she was seven years old, Princess Taiping broke her hairpin as an oath and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "From now on, I will protect you."
She thought the broken hairpin was the promise she made for her whole life.
They cuddled up to each other in the shadow of Wu Zetian. One learned to be charming and naive, while the other developed the charm and ambition. They are each other's only warm light. In the bloody storm, they use the hairpin as a plan and work step by step.
Until the country was in turmoil, and the Shenlong coup shocked Chang'an night.

"Wan'er, if you are with me in this world, you can only choose one."
"Your Highness, Broken Hairpin's plan is to seek survival and power, but... It cannot seek your heart.
