A great fire ten years ago took everything from her and left her trapped in the imperial palace. Only the word "revenge" gave her the courage to keep living.
A civet cat switched for the crown prince: he grew up drinking "Three Lives' Intoxication," enduring hardship and biding his time as he secretly built his strength. All he wanted was to claim the throne and look down upon the world.
They met because of a politically charged marriage alliance, fraught with intrigue. The saddest thing about being born into the royal family is having to guard against even the person sharing your bed.
But when layer upon layer of schemes is laid bare, and every act of slaughter is revealed to have been for revenge, we can only wait and see who will rule the realm in the end, and whether they will be alone.
