Jiang Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, once made a love affair with Prince Xiao Jingyun as their childhood sweethearts, hoping that they would live together in peace and stability after his triumphant return.
Unexpectedly, news came from the border that the prince had "died in battle" and the family was in trouble. In order to protect the whole family, Jiang Wan had no choice but to marry Ling Xiao, the prince of Zhenguo, the gentle prince who had silently protected her for many years.
The time after marriage was quiet, and Jiang Wan was gradually warmed by Ling Xiao's sincerity. Just when the two were about to be together for a long time, Xiao Jingyun, who "died in battle," returned with military exploits and became the new emperor in charge of the world.
He purged the court and left the harem vacant, insisting on keeping the married woman Jiang Wan by his side, and even forced her into the deep palace due to the safety of the Ling family.
On the day she entered the palace, Jiang Wan stood in front of the steps in plain clothes and said to Xiao Jingyun: "Your Majesty uses the palace wall as a cage, so I will find a way to survive in the cage."
He is an emperor whose obsession is hard to get rid of, using his power to trap old dreams; she is a trapped luan bird, playing step by step in the palace chess game, dealing with the emperor while secretly protecting Ling Xiaozhouquan.
When the old love becomes the fetters of the new situation, when the gentle prince hides his edge, love and conspiracy are intertwined in the imperial palace. Who can earn his own ending in this predicament?
Concept:: The luan bird in the cage uses love as a blade to break through the situation.
