In the winter of the twelfth year of Yonghe's reign, the Qin Tian Jian observed the stars at night, and the strange sign of "nine phoenixes chasing the sun" shocked the government and the public. The third prince, Li Zhaoning, was involved in a bloody imperial power game because his birth date coincided with the prophecy. In order to check and balance his power, the old emperor issued an edict to marry him to the current prime minister Xiao Jingheng, forming an unprecedented "male-wife alliance". On the night of the wedding, the blue medicinal dregs that appeared in the wine were actually the same as the poison used when the late queen died suddenly eighteen years ago.
In this cage in the name of marriage, Li Zhaoning gradually discovered:
- The red mole on the back of Xiao Jingheng's neck is exactly the same as that of the late prince who disappeared in Guiyou year
- Qingyin Pavilion musician Qingxu's nine-wen copper coin contains the Beidi border defense map
- Chu Mingzhao, a woman from the cold palace, has the ability to foresee the gray hair from the royal secret medicine.
When the bronze tiger talisman reappeared under the plum tree, three shocking secrets were revealed
From being forced to lie down to being in charge of the Black Iron Tiger Talisman, from being a prisoner of marriage to being at the gate of the city, Li Zhaoning finally made a choice in front of the Suzaku Gate: to become a pioneer of the new dynasty, or to be a gravedigger of the old system? And the line of small words hidden on the back of the star map by Jamel Xiao revealed a truth even more shocking than the imperial power - "The so-called prophecy is just a desperate move by the person who loves you."
Intention: Destiny is a prisoner, and the one who breaks the game will eventually become the chess player.
