The partition wall of Xiyuan Jingshe was originally the place where Jiajing listened to the secret whispers of foreign ministers, but the emperor's most secret embarrassment was hidden in the gaps. When the grudge between father and son broke out in the secret room, the out-of-control argument exposed the truth that he was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and made Hai Rui's personal affair invisible to all the ministers in the court. The majesty of the emperor, the suspicion of father and son, and the loyalty of ministers are all trapped between agarwood and candlelight. The secret that no one dares to tell will eventually become the last straw that breaks the balance of the palace.
Intention: The pull between power and family affection, the struggle of human nature in taboos and rules, and the exploration of the dilemma and helplessness of individual emotions under feudal imperial power.
