Su Junxin, the youngest daughter of the Su family in southern Fujian, was born with the aura and unruliness of the sea. She can recognize the tides with one glance and the fragrances with one nose, but she cannot understand the beauty of the boudoir. With a transfer order, her father went to the northwest border, and she was sent to live in a deep house in Bianjing. From the rolling pier to the strictly regulated courtyard, she must use the tenacity of sea sand and the astuteness of a photograph to gain a foothold in the undercurrent of human nature.
Zhao Jing, the ninth prince of the current dynasty, served in the Ministry of Punishment. His brilliance was restrained and he kept his edge in a sheath. In the vortex of power. He was tired of the calculating power games and longed for an untainted sincerity in his heart.
An assassination, a shocking glimpse. In front of the forest of monuments at Xuanshan Temple, she stopped for the sweet smell of a bite of persimmon cake, but she accidentally broke into the danger of his assassination. An instinctive helping hand allowed the orderly prince to remember this frightening but extremely vivid color.
She is the "variable" in the world of rules and the "oxygen" in his heavy life. He admired her raw, fresh and pragmatic wisdom, while she saw in him a depth of complexity and responsibility.
However, the changes in Quanzhou Port, the undercurrents at the northwest border, and the games in the court have long been woven into an invisible giant web. The mystery behind her father's transfer is secretly connected to Zhao Jing's situation of walking on thin ice.
When the obscure clues in her father's book gradually connected with what she saw in Bianjing, the innocent encounter suddenly evolved into a life-or-death hand-in-hand. Faced with a mystery and murderous intention that can subvert the government and the opposition, should you retreat into the deep secluded room to protect yourself, or should you risk everything and work side by side with the lonely prince to uncover the mystery?
Intent: In an era of strict rules, using the aura of the sea to break through the shadows of high walls, using uninhibited wisdom and sincere friendship to protect loved ones, illuminate the true heart, and ultimately find oneself.
