The Sea Is Clear and the River Is Clear, and the World Is at Peace

Jiang Yunzhi was a low-ranking concubine who was drafted into the palace. Her family was in decline. She became favored by the emperor after he was drunk. She became pregnant. She was afraid that she would be hated by others and die from strife in the harem. She ended up with one dead and two dead, so she offered herself a pillow to Yin Lanzhai, the powerful chief minister of ceremonies, and sought asylum. With repeated contact, feelings that should not have arisen quietly emerged until they couldn't let go. They are sinking each other and redeeming each other. They are all victims of imperial power, duckweeds in an unfair world, and fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered. One day, they grasped the staff of imperial power, dominated the world, and became swordsmen hanging above the flesh and blood. Hatred and the past seemed to be no longer worth mentioning. Clear seas and rivers, and peace in the world, were what they wanted throughout their lives.
