During the Lantern Festival, Princess Ning Yuan dies mysteriously at the night banquet. Li Pei Yi, Princess of Fuchang County, and Xiao Huai Jin, deputy director of the Astronomical Bureau, are ordered to investigate. Cold on the outside but kind at heart, Pei Yi reads people fast and fights even faster. Huai Jin is meticulous, with a razor-sharp memory. Working in sync, they follow threads through arrogant nobles and an Imperial Guard commander hiding secrets, cracking the case and unmasking the killer.
More eerie palace mysteries soon follow, each tied to the fates of women in the inner court. As they chase the truth deeper into the Tang palace, they also uncover what really happened behind Pei Yi's family massacre fifteen years ago, and the mastermind's plot.
