Synopsis

In her past life, Bai Manxue was blind to the truth and foolishly devoted, doing everything in her power to help Gong Shengyu ascend the throne.

But after he became emperor, he seemed like a completely different person.

He made her empress, yet also elevated Consort Yun to a powerful position to keep her in check.

Behind their backs, he fanned the flames and watched them fight to the death.

In the end, their child became a sacrifice to secure his throne.

Bai Manxue was utterly disillusioned. Fortunately, she had already awakened to the truth and prepared to take everyone down with her.

When the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole waits behind. Who will be the last one standing?

In the end,

Consort Yun was beaten to death.

Gong Shengyu died of poison!

And Bai Manxue died with her unborn child.

Before she died, she swore an oath.

If there is another life, I will renounce love and desire. I will never again have anything to do with power, nor set foot in the imperial household.

But before her soul could fade away, she saw something that left her stunned.

He said, “I’m sorry I came too late.”

He said, “I thought that if I let you use me to help him achieve his aims, he would keep treating you well.”

Watching Gong Liyuan gently kiss her, Bai Manxue completely broke down.

“No, don’t let my blood stain you...”

Gong Liyuan, if there is another life, I will never let you down!
