She was originally the most inconspicuous little incense-making lady in Beijing, but at a flower-viewing banquet, she was noticed by the Prince Regent, not because of her, but because she resembled the shadow in his heart.
Within three days, she went from a young girl waiting to be married to a concubine of the palace, from freedom to prison.
Sometimes he was gentle, sometimes cold. He called her sister, but never her name.
She thought she was just a substitute, but she didn't expect that the real shadow was a taboo that he couldn't tell.
When she finally gave up, she faked her death and escaped from Jiangnan, thinking she could start a new life, but fate pushed her back to him again.
Three years later, he saw a landscape painting in Jiangnan Painting Studio and was instantly lost.
The brushstrokes and artistic conception were clearly the work of his late wife.
He followed the clues to find her, but she no longer wanted to be anyone's shadow.
He pressed forward step by step, but she avoided him at every turn.
Until the past is revealed, the mystery of the substitute, the truth about his life experience, and royal scandals emerge layer by layer.
Only then did he realize that what he had been pursuing for the past three years was not the shadow, but her.
When the conspiracy resumed, he was poisoned to protect her, and she exposed her identity to save him.
The sin of deceiving the king and faking his death, and the entangled love and hate, are all settled at this moment.
