Synopsis

Once you enter the palace gates, the halls stretch deep, and you are powerless to decide your own fate. In the harem of Chu, open and covert attacks, flashing blades, honeyed words concealing daggers: its rivalries are no less fierce than the struggles among emperors and ministers at court. Countless schemes unfold in endless cycles, every moment of every day. To win favor, seize power, claim the throne, or become empress, women once as lovely as flowers spend all their finest years in the harem. They lose themselves, slowly becoming twisted, their hands stained with blood. These beautiful women are no more than fleeting ghosts beneath imperial power. Along the road to power and favor, there are no true winners or losers, only endless sorrow and loneliness.

That was a sweet, bittersweet time, but you are no longer the young man I first knew.

Those innocent years were so beautiful: laughter was sweet, love was warm. Time flew by, and it all feels like another lifetime. The graceful young man beneath the Chinese parasol tree, dressed in a pale moon-white robe, eventually became a brooding, calculating emperor in a golden-yellow dragon robe, as well as a gifted politician. He was no longer the gentle, elegant young man, and that version of him had become a memory that could never be reclaimed. I only hope that in the next life, I won't marry into the imperial family. A quiet, peaceful life in an ordinary household would be more than enough.
