About Palace Masquerade
When her father is framed for treason and their family ruined, brilliant architect Shen Weiwan disguises herself as a man to infiltrate the imperial palace, determined to expose the corrupt court conspiracies that destroyed her noble lineage.
Operating under the alias Shen Che within the Imperial Household Department, she uses her genius for mathematics and architectural design to audit royal construction projects. Instead of ordinary blueprints, she uncovers a deadly web of embezzled drainage funds, stolen imperial treasures, and shady Eastern Palace renovations. Her clandestine investigation crosses paths with Seventh Prince Xiao Che, a seemingly carefree royal secretly searching for answers surrounding his mother's mysterious death.
Recognizing a shared enemy, the wary pair forge an uneasy alliance against the ruthless Crown Prince, scheming ministers, and treacherous Jiangnan salt merchants. Facing relentless assassination attempts, harrowing prison breakouts, and perilous escapes through forbidden palace tunnels, they hunt for irrefutable proof buried beneath the imperial grounds. In a grand showdown before the Emperor himself, they shatter the web of lies to vindicate her father and avenge fallen kin. With honor restored and corrupt forces dismantled, they leave behind court politics and imperial power to build a quiet, peaceful life together far from the gilded walls.
