She is Wei Xuan, the female emperor of Great Wei: fond of beautiful men, cold-hearted, ruthless, and defiant of all convention. She is Shen Xiao, the regent of Great Yan: cruel and bloodthirsty, outwardly debauched, yet secretly devoted to one person, and destined to die a violent death.
When she becomes her, Wei Xuan decides that since the young emperor cannot tell friend from foe, she will rebel!
Fang Huaijie, her childhood friend, is cold and restrained on the surface but obsessive and unhinged underneath. He supports Wei Xuan every step of the way as she ascends the throne. Just as she comes to trust him completely, he conspires to imprison her in Yongle Palace. He declares that he will only let her go once she is pregnant. Furious, Wei Xuan refuses to submit, even if it costs her life.
On the night of the full moon, Wei Xuan tears out her own heart’s blood in front of Fang Huaijie, then fakes her death. When she is reborn, she has become Shen Xiao…
Wei Xuan wakes in the regent’s manor, opens and closes her eyes, then closes and opens them again. What is going on with the five male favorites in the inner court, each with his own agenda!?
