Description:

A tale of a cold and desolate historical romance, a lonely true love that forgets the world, one does not drink from any spring but the sweet spring, one does not roost but on the phoenix tree, a warm and poignant prose that countless fans passionately pursue.

The phoenix sings, upon that high hill. The parasol tree grows, in the morning sun. The phoenix, a spiritual bird, is male as the Feng and female as the Huang, reigning as the king of all birds. It feeds only on bamboo seeds, perches only on the parasol tree, and drinks only from sweet springs. The parasol and the phoenix originally exist as male and female pairs, with the parasol being male and the phoenix female, loyal and unwavering, relying on each other for life, steadfast until death. The parasol tree, embodying both male and female, is paired with the phoenix, which resembles both genders, thus it is known as the phoenix perching on the parasol tree.

The most ruthless are the imperial families. Li Yue, the youngest daughter of Empress Wu Zetian, has suffered from a chronic illness since childhood. Suspected by Princess Taiping and weary of the palace intrigues, she exhausts all her efforts to escape the palace and retreats to the rivers and lakes. There, she encounters the mysterious and ethereal youth Xie Yang and the aloof and skilled physician Xie Jun Kai. As the world changes and human hearts are difficult to fathom, despite her status as a princess, she is repeatedly misunderstood and frequently falls victim to schemes, filled with grievances and injustices. What is the "Royal Phoenix Secret"? What is the Cold Fragrance Valley? Amidst the enmities and grievances of the martial world, and the chaos of war, she finds herself entangled in a love that is both tangible and elusive, wandering in anguish over gains and losses.
