The heroine Shen Zhiwei is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister. Three years ago, her family was wiped out overnight, but she was the only one to escape the disaster because she was at her maternal ancestral home in the south of the Yangtze River. All the evidence points directly to the East Palace, but she finds out the suspicious point - on the night of the destruction of the family, the prince is thousands of miles away to provide disaster relief. In order to find out the truth, she spent three years paving the way in the name of "admiring the prince", and finally entered the East Palace as a concubine.
The male protagonist Xiao Jingheng, the current prince, has a deep mind and decisive methods. He knew that Shen Zhiwei must have an agenda when marrying into the East Palace, but he also used his plan to use her to uncover the hidden enemies lurking in the court. The two appear to be in love on the surface, but in fact they are testing each other every night.
When Shen Zhiwei discovers that the family murder case involves a conspiracy between the remnants of the previous dynasty and important ministers, and when Xiao Jingheng realizes that she is actually investigating the same force that he is also secretly investigating - two people with their own agendas are forced to become allies.
From suspicion to temptation, from confrontation to joining hands, they must discern the sincerity in the conspiracy, guard each other in the murderous intention, and finally uncover the truth of the murder three years ago, eradicate the dark forces that are causing trouble in the government and the public, and restore true peace to the world.
Intention: Even if you are in a desperate situation and bear deep hatred, you can still choose to move towards the light; personal pain can be sublimated into greater responsibility; the strongest relationship is the deep love of like-minded people and fighting side by side.
