You Hongying, the daughter of a general in the northern border, came to Beijing with her mother under the imperial edict and was called to be married. She was actually a pawn used by the emperor to restrict her grandfather's military power. In the prosperous but undercurrent of the imperial city, she met Gu Jietang, the cold and aloof daughter of the Duke of China - a Jiangnan pearl who had high hopes from her family but was trapped in a beautiful cage.
Red as flame, white as jade. The two seemed to be on different paths, but they gradually entered each other's world through intrigues at palace banquets, marriage games, and family ups and downs. Hongying used her gun as a pen to earn her sanity on the battlefield and in the court; Jietang used her harp as a sword to maintain her pride in the deep house and palace. From ignorant girls to standing side by side, they jointly experience betrayal, loss and awakening amid the struggle for imperial power, emotional entanglement and self-seeking.
When Hongying raised her family's silver spear and broke through the siege on the snowy field; when Jietang broke the golden hairpin and fought to survive in a desperate situation - they were no longer whose daughter or whose wife, but the glimmer of light that illuminated each other's lives. How can a profound friendship that transcends class and gender be tempered into steel in the ups and downs? How to quietly connect the fate of a group of women and weave a silent web called "Peacock"?
This is a story about the contrasting growth of "red" and "white", and it is also an epic of female friendship intertwined with ancient styles.
Concept: A story about two girls growing up together, fighting against patriarchy, and finally establishing the court and the world side by side.
