Luo Wannian, a merchant’s daughter, has always known exactly what she wants:
Affection from Prince Ning, money from her sworn enemy, and power from Prince Yu.
Prince Ning is willing to take her only as a concubine, and even lets his personal maid get pregnant. She immediately has the child in her womb aborted, then turns around and marries her sworn enemy, Xu Hengyi.
She never expected Xu Hengyi to die in battle. Only then does she realize that true love is impossible to chase down.
To take revenge, she enters the palace and seeks out Zhao Jinchuan, now emperor.
This calculating emperor has coveted her for a long time. In this game, she makes herself a pawn, and power, desire, love, and hate all become stakes in the gamble.
