Pagoda

During the Longhua period, the powerful eunuch Xiao Duo conspired with Prince Fu to orchestrate a palace coup, assisting him in ascending to the throne. The talented woman, Bu Yin Lou, who was supposed to be buried alongside the emperor, was favored by him and saved by Xiao Duo. She was later placed in Xiao's residence, and the two spent their days and nights together, gradually developing feelings for each other. However, due to their respective statuses, they could only keep their emotions hidden.

Xiao Duo traveled south to Jiangnan to oversee the silk trade with foreign nations, while Yin Lou accompanied him to visit relatives. During this time, the two fell deeply in love and eventually revealed their feelings for each other. However, their path was fraught with obstacles, including Xiao Duo's true identity, the threats from the Prince of Nanyuan, and the suppression from the emperor within the palace. A single misstep could lead to fatal consequences.

Yin Lou sacrifices herself for the greater good, resolutely entering the palace. Unaware of the situation, Xiao Duo develops misunderstandings about her, leading to the original lovers enduring unspoken longing and suffering greatly.
