In the Liang Dynasty, a pair of twin princesses had different fates since childhood: the elder sister Xiao Jinyi was frail and sick, and lived in the palace; the younger sister Xiao Jinshu was smart and decisive, studying, practicing martial arts, and meeting guests on her behalf, and became in the eyes of the world "a talented princess rarely seen in a century." An assassination broke the peace, and Xiao Jinshu died of serious injuries while protecting his sister and the prince. The grief-stricken Xiao Jinyi swore in front of the soul that she would be reborn in the name of her sister, change her name and surname, transform into the counselor "Shen Yan", and step into the undercurrent of the court. She used her sister's ruthless tactics to eradicate political opponents, and her sister's benevolence to appease the people. She assisted the seventh prince to ascend the throne and became emperor. In the past ten years, she had dominated the government and everyone, but was called the "unknown prime minister." The emperor was willing to hire Jiangshan and make her his queen, but she walked into the Ancestral Temple on the eve of the ceremony and unveiled her mask: "Your Majesty, I am not her." It turned out that the person who had been sitting at the top of power for the past ten years was the person who was once considered the weakest. She is neither a hero nor a legend, she is just a woman who survived for her sister and finally found herself. This is a story about identity, sacrifice and self-awakening - how can she live out the light when the world only loves her shadow?
Purpose: Real growth is not to become someone else, but to let the hidden self come to light again.
