Empress Wen took control of the government, and a murder in a secret room led to undercurrents in the city.
Shen Xuheng, the minister of Dali Temple in the second rank, and Lu Cenxiao, the deputy commander in front of the second rank palace, belonged to the two camps and were ordered to work together to thoroughly investigate the suspicious case.
Rolls of paper with hidden secrets reveal layer by layer the monstrous conspiracy that the relatives have been planning for many years.
Trapped in a world of power, the two have contradictory positions, but their fate has already tightly bound them to each other. There is a fateful contract in the world. From then on, we share weal and woe, and live and die together.
Concept: The story uses the chess game in the court where the foreign relatives are in chaos to depict the half-life entanglement between the two people who are bound by fate. It is intended to dismantle the false desire for power, explain the preciousness of the souls of opposite people knowing each other, and express that despite being trapped in the world of machinations and suffering, the ultimate destination of this life is to stay with friends and save each other.
