But when a senior male associate is caught and imprisoned at a powerful court in Kaifeng, where Prince Ning Jin (Niu Zi Fan) reigns. She decides to infiltrate the court to rescue the associate.

She does so, thinking that in doing so, she will not only get the chance to see the “Royal Cat,” but also have the opportunity to save the associate. But the closer she gets to Zhan Zhao, the more she feels their relationship could deepen, as he also seems to be developing a soft spot for her. But things get complicated when the Prince also takes a shining to her...and when feuds with a powerful enemy threaten to get deadly. “The Heart of Jade” is a 2021 Chinese period drama series that was directed by Zhao Jin Tao and Wu Wen Guang.
