An ancient novel that combines palace intrigue, Buddhism and Taoism, and complex emotional entanglements. The story begins when Empress Pei Wende was frustrated because she was unable to have children and was involved in the strife in the harem of her former dynasty. She cut off her black hair and fled to Hanshan Temple to practice medicine. Emperor Zhu Houzhao was deeply in love, but he was trapped by information blockade and pressure from courtiers. The mysterious outsider Gongzi Jing and his companion Zhen Shui Wuxiang quietly intervened to try to save the crisis. At the same time, Pei Wende's eldest brother Lei Wenze, who is in charge of the secret organization "Lefa Division", returned to Beijing with his mother's coffin, which triggered conflicts within the family. Fahai, the younger brother who left home at an early age and is a Buddhist practitioner, was on his way home for a funeral. He unexpectedly got into an entanglement with Qi Heng, a censor who was caught in a political whirlpool, because of his ability to subdue demons, causing a shocking storm in front of his mother's mourning hall. The story centers on the Pei Mansion, spreading out a complicated web: the emperor's deep love and the queen's despair that cannot be expressed in the palace, the irreconcilable love, hate and calculations between father, son and brothers in the family, the demonic shadows in the Jianghu and the court. The conspiracies and ghosts of the human heart, as well as the taboo emotions struggling between ethics and destiny... Everyone carries scars and secrets, seeking a glimmer of hope and relief in the torn apart of filial piety, responsibility, love and power.
