[Power struggles + rebirth + revenge + stunning female lead + male rivals vying for her] Political intrigue is the main focus! The tone leans dark, with a passionate, legendary story. Everyone is wicked, and the male lead and supporting male characters are not faithful. If you're sensitive, proceed with caution.
Five years ago, the Rongdi invaded, rebellion broke out in the south, borderlands were engulfed in war, and the realm fell into chaos.
The court officials knelt outside her palace, begging her to sacrifice herself and save the people of Lanxiang from the flames.
They begged her to save the people of Lanxiang! To save the emperor's throne!
Young and inexperienced, she lived every day in fear.
To stop the forces her mother had left behind from rescuing her, her own brother personally severed the tendons in her feet. Yet he put on an act, holding her and weeping bitterly as he spoke of his difficulties as emperor and begged her to help him secure his throne!
By then, she was little more than a cripple, utterly disheartened, with even her life and death in other people's hands.
In the end, she had no choice but to give in.
From then on, she was treated like a priceless treasure, presented as a precious gift to the most powerful men among the various factions.
If her beauty could win them over, the two armies could form an alliance at once and fight the stronger rebels together.
When the victorious army returned, the princess would be offered as a reward to a battle-hardened general to win favor and strengthen the supreme imperial power. She would become nothing more than a sacrifice to the throne.
But the tide had already turned against them. The decline could not be reversed, and the situation had reached the point of no return.
In this age of chaos, heroes rise and talent abounds...
