Moon Curtain

[A long princess who toys with people’s hearts ✖ a foolish puppy of a Minister of Rites]

[Political scheming, strong female lead, Platonic pure love with a tragic ending, both leads are obsessive, and they love power even more than each other]

A battle of wits: [Emperor of the human realm VS Emperor of the underworld]

The Underworld Emperor ascended to the upper realm.

To reclaim his seven emotions and six desires, he made a pact with the Heavenly Dao.

But this was a turbulent age.

Xu Jin’an was taken away by her mother’s family. She thought she would enjoy a lifetime of comfort and security,

but she never expected the emperor to discover her after all.

One frame-up, and the Meng Po soup lost its effect.

At Ximen Temple to pray for blessings, she encountered him.

A young man in white sat alone in a bamboo grove, playing a tune.

“I know you want the demon realm’s territory.”

“I asked the Matchmaker, and he said we were fated to meet but not to be together, so I wear the red thread every day.”

“I had no desire for love. You gave it to me.”

That autumn, she became emperor, and he had turned to ashes.

Great snow fell over Chang’an, but the two of them would never have the chance to share it again.

She had intended to raise an emperor and complete her mission,

but was forced into the court’s power struggles.

Gradually, she began to crave power.

But her good fortune did not last long.

The revered long princess was reduced to a prisoner in chains.

As chaos engulfed the land, the once-revered long princess became a captive.

What would become of her?

During the war, the disciple she had casually picked up turned out to have an extraordinary identity. Could it be that none of them were ordinary?

(The female lead is funny and airheaded in the early part, but later becomes a power-hungry woman who has the final say.)
