Synopsis

I am the imperial physician and favored consort confined to the inner palace by Gu Jingjue. The imperial physician says I haven't long to live, and I am glad. But Gu Jingjue isn't. He holds my hand and asks me to look at him again. I only tell him to get lost and stop sullying my eyes. The emperor, Gu Jingjue, went on a trip and returned with a woman who looked just like his one true love. She struts like a peacock, and she looks so much like me.
