The old King Ding was newly mourned, and Shen Zhao became the concubine respected by everyone in the palace.
She was only fourteen when she married into the prince's palace. The old prince treated her like his own daughter and never acted like husband and wife. Now that her bones are cold, she and her newly crowned eldest son Zhu Qiyao, one is guarding her deceased husband's legacy, the other is guarding human ethics and etiquette. Although they are only one year apart, they are separated by an insurmountable natural chasm.
Then a shadow puppet light came on, and he accidentally entered the underworld.
That night, the two of them fell into a strange script at the same time.
The cow's head and the horse's face hang down:
"In this play, in order to solve an unjust case, everyone who enters the play accepts his fate and inherits his fate."
In order to bring justice to those who died in vain, they must enter into the predetermined cause and effect in the world and borrow other people's orders to investigate other people's cases.
In the first scene, she is a shadow puppet maker in famine, and he is a hunter who kills sheep and pigs.
In the second scene, she is the favored junior sister in the mountain sect, and he is the senior brother who is despised by everyone.
In the third act, she is a calm and self-possessed heroine, and he is a powerful martial arts guard.
Act 4, Act 5...
Until the sixth act, they actually became a loving couple who had been married for several years.
Every time you change your identity, your past will be wiped out.
But no matter they are separated by a sea of people or they are wearing new clothes, they can always recognize each other at first sight.
In reality, she calls him "Prince" and he calls her "Toffee" in return. They treat each other with respect and do not dare to go beyond the rules.
In the script, they rely on each other for life and death, and work together to solve the case. In the shadow of a lamp and between life and death, they gradually see clearly the sincerity hidden under the etiquette.
But in the last scene, there is no other identity. The fate and destiny they inherit are all their own.
Nine unjust cases, nine stages of life, illuminate the light but never return.
Intention: to illuminate the world.
