In her previous life, Hua Fei was blinded by the emperor’s favor. She fought Zhen Huan to the death and ultimately died with regrets. Reborn, Hua Fei finally saw the truth: her real enemy was not Zhen Huan, but the palace that devoured its people and the faithless emperor.
After being reborn, Hua Fei reached out to Zhen Huan, who was initially suspicious of her transformation but gradually lowered her guard in the face of Hua Fei’s sincerity. Hua Fei used her position in the palace to clear obstacles from Zhen Huan’s path, while Zhen Huan used her intelligence to help Hua Fei overcome one crisis after another. In this inner palace rife with schemes and intrigue, they were no longer rivals, but trusted sisters. Together, they searched for hope of survival in the darkness, stood against the merciless palace, and wrote a different kind of legend of their own.
