When she was still young, an imperial edict pushed her into the palace and became a puppet queen.
She originally thought she would be trapped in a red wall for the rest of her life, but on her wedding night, she uncovered the bloody truth - her biological mother, Su, did not die of illness, but had her spinal cord taken alive by the late emperor to make elixirs; her brother Ye Heqing's armor guarding the northern frontier contained the wolf head tattoo of the Hun royal family; and every sip of tea that Emperor Xiao Jianqing drank was mixed with the medicinal fragrance of her Yin blood.
Deep in the palace, a curse spanning three generations quietly spread:
- The body double in the bronze coffin looks exactly like hers;
- There are hundreds of tattooed infant bones buried under the star path map of the Qintian Prison;
- Deep in the living tomb in Langshan Mountain in northern Xinjiang, the drums of the Twin Sacrifice have not stopped for a hundred years.
When the Soul-Eating Gu awakened from the ice marrow, Ye Xiwen realized that he was actually the Gu's mother vessel. She burned the phoenix crown with fire, used the Yin blood as a blade, and cut open the shocking chess game in the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses——
"Phoenix burning in the fire? No, I want this nine-layered palace to burn with me."
Machiavellian tactics and curses are intertwined, and affection and betrayal coexist.
The legitimate daughter is not a chess piece, and the queen is not a puppet. This time, she will burn through this cannibalistic country and be the only chess player in troubled times.
