This is an ancient sadomasochism novel based on the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty. It uses the unfinished palace of Epang Palace to unfold the ups and downs of love and hate in the life of the emperor and the woman. The heroine Afang is Ying Zheng's confidant who met when he was younger than Handan. During his downfall, she shielded him from all the trouble with her gentleness, and the two made a promise to stay together. After Ying Zheng ascended the throne and unified the six kingdoms, he embarked on a large-scale construction project to build the Afang Palace just to fulfill his promise to marry her. However, due to the power struggle in the court, obstruction by the clan, and the constant alienation between the remaining forces of the six kingdoms, the former warmth was crushed by the imperial power.
In the windy and cold palace, Afang was trapped within the gorgeous palace walls, witnessing the emperor's ambition and suspicion, witnessing the corvee crushing the people, and the undercurrents of the government. Within the palace walls is the pull of love and power, while outside the palace walls is the prelude to the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. Afang Palace was not completed in the end, and the relationship between the two ended with the fall of the Qin Dynasty. A love that began in troubled times finally dissipated in the cold wind and rain. The rammed earth of the palace has remained for thousands of years, hiding a love story between a son and a daughter who was let down by the imperial power, telling the story of the rise and fall of the dynasty and the fate of love.
