A blood edict and two dragon scales. One is a forgotten prince, whose identity is a reminder of death; the other is a palace maid with a different blood, whose bloodline is original sin. They are connected by a curse and share a common fate by a conspiracy. In the palace cage full of murderous intentions, in the turbulent whirlpool of power, Shen Jin and Su Yuli were forced to become each other's only reliance and bargaining chip. They must unravel the shocking conspiracy behind the blood edict, explore the ancient truth about Bingji's bloodline, and fight against numerous murderous intentions from the royal family, eunuchs and even unknown entities in their thrilling escapes and maneuvers.
The road ahead is full of thorns, and there are people chasing souls and seeking lives behind. The cold dragon scales are both keys and shackles. Is the resonance of blood a salvation, or a deeper curse? When the cold blade of the deep palace is unsheathed again, can this pair of men and women struggling in the quagmire of fate find a glimmer of hope on top of the ruins of the overturned dynasty?
Concept: Two people, regarded as abandoned by power and blood, are forced to coexist on the edge of the abyss of death. In the cold palace cage, they used each other as the only candle, struggling to tear open the gaps, resisting the imposed fate, and looking for the slightest bit of humanity and the possibility of breaking through the ruins of the conspiracy. Poison or antidote, vulnerability is strength, their connection itself is a rebellion against death.
