Synopsis
During the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, undercurrents surged. Pei Yan, on the surface, is the young minister of Dali Temple and the concubine of the prime minister's office, but in fact he is the "hidden blade" supported by the imperial power. He has a strange talent and can use the "Wen Tian Xiang" to predict good and bad fortunes in dreams, but he is deeply criticized for spying on heaven's secrets. No one knows that he is the adopted son of Lu Tianji, the incense master who was exterminated ten years ago for resisting the imperial edict, and he is also the "trophy" forcibly kept by the emperor. Shen Li, the female shopkeeper of "Mengxiang Tower" in the corner of Chang'an, uses incense to treat people, she is cold and mysterious. She is actually the daughter of Lu Tianji, the only one who slipped through the net in the murder case. A bizarre case of the death of a bride reunited these two childhood sweethearts who had a blood feud but did not know each other. Pei Yan was framed by his brother Pei Zheng and became an imperial prisoner, and accidentally entered Shen Li's secret room. As the investigation deepens, a shocking conspiracy emerges: Pei Zheng, jealous of Pei Yan's talent, steals the remains of the Lu family in an attempt to refine the "heart-controlling incense" to control the court; while the emperor pursues Pei Yan just to continue to exploit his ability to "question the sky." From embracing each other in a secret room to walking together in a ghost market, Pei Yan recognized Shen Li as the "Li'er" he had been looking for for ten years, but he did not dare to recognize him because he was covered in mud, so he could only protect him to the death; Shen Li was also shocked to discover the connection between the person in front of him and his father during the trial. Those who ask God will be punished by God, and those who control their hearts will eventually lose their hearts. Caught between imperial power and hatred, the pair of "prisoners" decided not to escape. They will use incense as their sword and their body as a shield to launch a desperate counterattack against the supreme power and destiny. Purpose: Use incense as a guide to play with people's hearts and destiny; use love as medicine to redeem prisoners and the common people.
