Deep Love for a Wounded Lord: Snowy Shadows over Longyuan

Why did a generation's great ruler suddenly abdicate at the height of her power? The blank spaces in the history books seem to conceal an invisible barrier, keeping her from the truth.

The history books say little about Shang Heng after her abdication: She ruled for eight years and accomplished great things, but suddenly stepped down in the eighth year of Yunwei, retiring to the countryside and never returning to court. She remained there until the end of her life. The story of the ruined ruler Shang Heng and the demon empress Xue Rou is about to begin.
