I am the eldest legitimate princess of Great Zhou, and with my father’s approval, I wield real power over the state.
My mother, the empress, had no children besides me and was frail. She passed away when I was young, and the position of crown prince naturally went to the son of the Noble Consort.
I have always been kind. Even when the two of them repeatedly did foolish things, I said nothing.
So they dared to speak disrespectfully on the anniversary of my mother’s death and murder a little girl.
That day, at my mother’s memorial, I felt the urge to kill for the first time.
Gu Yuan has been pampered all his life. He seems to have forgotten that the crown prince’s seat is not so easy to hold.
After all... Father has never said that the ruler of our dynasty must be a man.
