Xue Qing was the mistake her mother made during a night of passion. After leaving the baby in her father's arms, that woman simply dusted herself off and walked away, leaving her and her father to struggle in a brothel. Her father told her that love was the most tormenting thing in the world, which was why he named her Xue Qing. Yet he himself could not let go. When she was six, he jumped off a boat rather than give in. By the time they pulled him out, half his life was gone. With nowhere else to turn, she could only kneel outside the Xue estate and beg her birth mother to save her father.
In the end, she gave herself up, entered the imperial palace, took the place of her precious older sister, and became one of the emperor's consorts, feeling neither joy nor sorrow. But when she learned that her father had disappeared, she went mad. She hated every one of them. She would climb higher and higher, and only by gaining ever greater power could she find her father, take revenge on them all, and trample underfoot everyone who had bullied her and her father.
Including that man.
The man who had given her everything.
But why hadn't things gone as she imagined? Why had they turned out... so easy?
