When Jiang Suhua revealed her true identity to the emperor at the palace banquet, everyone called her a complete fool. She could have stayed the sworn younger sister of the Third Young Master Huo, but instead she chose that crucial moment to step forward and take her father's post. Yet she felt no regret, and even had Huo Chongjiu at her beck and call.
When Jiang Suhua's life hung by a thread, he never left her side.
When Jiang Suhua made a deal with a tiger, he strung his bow and set an arrow for her.
The peony-and-bamboo family crest, the bones beneath the murals at Changsheng Temple, the princes' power struggles, the past between the emperor and his consort: Jiang Suhua stood at the heart of the maelstrom and was gradually drawn in.
At the very end, she watched Huo Chongjiu transform into a prince and tossed the throne into his hands.
Huo Chongjiu: “You have no conscience.”
