She is a prisoner in the deep palace, and he is a chess player in the dark night. In troubled times, light and darkness should be at odds with each other.
The Da Qi dynasty was decadent, the emperor was ignorant, and uprisings broke out everywhere. Mu Xingye, the fake prince of the enemy country, controls the court with iron-blooded tactics, and even the emperor becomes his puppet. Xia Zhaozhao, the daughter of the eldest princess, looks innocent on the surface, but in fact she has seen through the darkness of the palace and struggles to survive in the conspiracy.
A game of power brings the two together. He exposed her disguise with a cold look, and she accepted his temptation with a smile. Under the alliance of interests, the mask gradually peels off - when the flames of uprising burn the dynasty, and the truth of identity tears apart trust, are they each other's pawns, or the only salvation in a desperate situation?
Intention: In this corrupt world, only those who break the shackles can become each other's light.
