The "siblings" of the Zhenguo General's Mansion hide secrets that cannot be told.
Shen Yanci and Qi Qingyan have been inseparable since childhood. They are called brother and sister, but there is a cross-border affection hidden in their eyes. A shackles of blood ethics trapped two hearts that had long been dependent on each other.
Until the old jade pendant engraved with "Cloud" and "Inkstone" reappeared, and the peace of many years suddenly shattered. Shen Yanci's hand holding the jade pendant trembled slightly - he was not a member of the Qi family? Why is the name of the biological mother Liu Yunxi closely related to the Wen family?
His life experience was like a thunderous explosion. Shen Yanci looked at his unfamiliar self in the mirror, not knowing whether to hate the bloodline that abandoned him or the "lie" that protected him from growing up. Qi Qingyan hid behind the screen, his fingertips digging into his palms, ethical fear and uncontrollable heartbeat tearing in his chest.
When the truth points to the Wen family, a Hanlin scholar, and to the dusty murder case, they have no choice but to step into that deep house. The hostility of Wen Mingqian, the legitimate son of the Wen family, was like a gleam on the back, and Liu Yuru, the step-sibling's smile, hid the gleam of a knife. Everyone was staring at Shen Yanci, the "outsider" chess piece.
What is hidden in the deficit of Jiangnan Grain Store? Who is fueling the rumors about "incorrect status" in the court? Shen Yanci walked step by step in the fog, and Qi Qingyan's figure always appeared in the most dangerous places.
When the cold war between the Wen family stirs up turmoil, and when the position of the Qi family quietly tilts, can this pair of people who were once trapped in status wait for the consummation of a matchmaking marriage at the end of the storm? Behind that jade pendant, how many unspeakable past events are there?
Intention: Break through the shackles and let true love be fulfilled and fulfilled
