Su Yuwan spent half her life devoted to one man, the one at the very peak of power.
She gave everything she had and finally stood at his side. Then, just as the flowers bloomed, everything came crashing down.
She gave birth to a stillborn child, yet he forced her to stamp the phoenix seal on his decree to take another wife.
Heartbroken and utterly despondent, she finally came to her senses.
“Jun Yushen, I lost. I lost everything. Today, I give back all the love I had for you!”
But even death would not grant her what she wanted. Fine, then she would live well.
Upon her return, she takes on powerful ministers on one side and vicious consorts on the other. Yet the further she goes, the more she realizes that an unseen hand has been controlling everything all along. The people she once hated were nothing but pawns arranged by that person.
The palace’s darkest scandals, the secrets behind the feuds between nations and families, the truth hidden for years: everyone has been dragged into this abyss of human nature.
