According to historical records, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping, one as the internal minister and the other as the imperial daughter, visited the palace and gardens together and governed the court affairs together.
However, it is not recorded in the history books——
Even more secretly, she grinded ink for her; when the flowers fell, she styled her hair.
Those whispers hidden behind the edicts, those touches hidden under the golden steps and jade ridges,
It is the faintest touch of cinnabar in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it is the remaining warmth that has not cooled down after thousands of years.
They once stood side by side at the highest point of the Daming Palace, watching all the lights of Chang'an;
Each of them fell into the torrent of fate, one was blood-splattered, and the other was heartbroken due to poisonous wine.
But before that, in those mornings and dusk forgotten by official history——
There was a kiss, which was more important than the edict; there was a dream, which was more real than the country.
This article uses official history as the bones and emotions as the flesh to explore the secret words and thoughts that "may have happened" between Wanping and Wanping in places not covered by history.
Purpose: In the gap between power and emotion, explore the purity and complexity of female friendship, and restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty that was obscured by official history and belonged to Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping.
