Princess Wan Ning of the Daning Dynasty once had the most perfect scene in the world. Father Ye Jing only dotes on Queen Wen Shutong and dismisses the six palaces. Within the red walls, there is full of tenderness. A sudden illness took the queen's life. Everyone knew that the queen had passed away, but her personal maid Qiu Ning was nowhere to be found. Eight-year-old Ye Lan followed her mother's will and took her younger brother Ye Xu'an to Jing'an Temple to escape the world and stayed there for seven years. When he was fifteen years old and the hairpin ceremony was approaching, he returned to the imperial city at night. In the past, the only favor no longer existed. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, and Concubine Meng was favored unparalleled. During a palace banquet, late at night, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a plum blossom mark on the concubine's collarbone. The mark was exactly the same as that of her mother's missing maid Qiu Ning. Since then, doubts have arisen. She quietly investigated, and an old incident that had been buried for many years slowly surfaced: Qiu Ning was originally the queen's concubine Wen Qingyuan. She was trapped in hatred for half her life. She was bewitched by the court forces and used the strange poison "Suihanku" to murder the queen. The deep palace is treacherous, and the confrontation in the court is endless. The Wen family cabinet and the Meng Shangshu faction are at odds with each other. The emperor weighs imperial power and love in his heart, and undercurrents are everywhere. Everyone only regarded the princess who had lived in the ancient temple for a long time as a vase who was ignorant of the world. Only the commander of the Jin Yiwei made Pei Cangqing see through the toughness behind her calm shell. The two were wary of each other, and developed feelings for each other while exploring the truth again and again. The marriage decree suddenly came down. Daning and Qianhe are evenly matched, Yelan is forced to go to a foreign land, and the fourth emperor Gongyi becomes her marriage partner. Ye Lan gradually learns that his mother's death was secretly fueled by his father. Pei Qingqing is willing to give up power to be with her, but because he has too many secrets, he cannot be tolerated by the emperor. Inside and outside the red wall, all sentient beings are trapped in obsession. Hatred, lust for power, and missed affection are intertwined. Yelan embarks on a long road ahead alone. She doesn't need to borrow anyone's light. Even though the road is long and windy and snowy, she still has to find the truth, protect her loved ones, and find her own way to survive. Purpose: The mist in the palace covers old cases, the princess breaks free from the shackles of fate, and finds the truth amidst the intrigues and grudges. Don't look down on others, take care of your family and country with your own choices, tell the joys and sorrows of all living beings trapped in obsession, and write about the growth and responsibility of women in the chess game of troubled times.
