Within the palace walls, she is the second princess, a hidden talent, dedicated to crafting poisons for medicine; outside, he is an assassin burdened with the blood feud of his family's massacre, living in anonymity, solely to find his sister and avenge her death. At a palace banquet, a masked figure returns, but the tattoo on his back has long been removed. Is he the boy from the mountains she knew six years ago? Is she his long-lost sister? A jade pendant serves as proof, the tattoo as evidence—everything points to a shocking conspiracy. Power struggles, misplaced identities, and the bloody entanglement of two generations ultimately culminate in a desperate counterattack orchestrated by a united front. The princess and the boy, from initial recognition and mistaken identities to eventual understanding and devotion, carve out a path of redemption amidst power struggles and genuine affection.

Entertaining and really allows Wang Xuan to show off his range

This was an entertaining, quick watch as a short form drama with only 16 episodes. I quite enjoyed it. This is a case of hidden identities amidst palace intrigue, but with a faster pace than most such dramas offer which is both a pro and a con, since it's fairly simple and unfolds pretty fast. Nothing too complex or deep here, but it's a fun drama and where it shines is the actors, particularly Wang Xuan who has been pretty well type cast in the vertical drama world in recent years as the "cold CEO" male lead. This drama lets him move outside of that box a bit. He's funny, he reminds of Xu Kai, and not just in looks but in his command of facial expressions. I laughed out loud more than once, and the plot kept me guessing enough on who was the hidden sister that between those elements I binged it in a night. Worth your time IMO.
