After I was sent to the Cold Palace, Pei Ye made Zhou Nian his Noble Consort.
Zhou Nian tormented me and harmed my father and brothers. Pei Ye watched with cold indifference. I knew then that an emperor's love was never something you could rely on.
I killed my enemies with my own hands. After taking my revenge, I faked my death and left the palace to seek out the man I had loved as a girl.
But that man only wanted to use me to secure a brighter future for himself.
Men in this world can never be trusted. They have forced even a weak woman like me to turn her heart to stone.
