In Ding'an City, Xia Li, a famous opera singer, became famous all over the world with her song "A Dream in the Boudoir", but no one knew that she was an orphan of the Xia family who was wiped out ten years ago. That night the fire engulfed her parents, leaving her with half a blood-stained waistband, and she escaped by hiding in a dry well. For ten years, she used her identity as an actress to deal with powerful people, doing everything she could to kill her enemies.
The sixth prince, Xiao Han, was a young general who defeated the twelve tribes in Northern Xinjiang with his iron armor and silver spear. Everyone knows that he is as cold as frost, but they don't know that he is haunted by nightmares every night - the tearful eyes of the woman looking back in the firelight gradually overlap with the double image of Xia Li when he took the stage. He tried to get closer, but she pushed him away with indifference. She doesn't trust anyone, even if he protects her in secret time and time again.
As fate would have it, Xia Li discovered that his enemy was actually Xiao Han's brother, the current prince Xiao Jue. In order to take revenge, she was forced to marry into the East Palace. The wedding day was also the time when Xiao Han went to war. In the sky filled with red silk, she pressed the poisoned dagger to the prince's throat, only to see Xiao Han riding back with his armor stained with blood, holding in his hand the waistband of the secret guard of the East Palace ten years ago...
She always treats him as a pawn, using his trust and affection just to achieve her revenge plan. And he knew her plan, but he was willing to go through fire and water for her.
Purpose: Through the tragedies of Xia Li and Xiao Han, the price of hatred, the power of trust and the helplessness of fate are revealed.
