Everyone's gone mad, absolutely mad. This dynasty is doomed sooner or later!
She was a carefully crafted puppet, yet she was determined to become a phoenix and break free from her cage.
“The perfect legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household was born to be empress.”
Xia Zhinian had been taught this since childhood. Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, and rules: she was trained harshly in every movement, and the slightest mistake brought punishment under the family law. She was the Prime Minister's most dazzling legitimate daughter, yet also a bird trapped in a golden cage. No one knew the desire she kept buried in her heart: she didn't want to be empress. She only wanted to be herself.
Then, during an autumn hunt, she met the Seventh Prince, Jiang Xingchuan.
He was unruly and unrestrained, like a beam of light piercing her dim life. They clung to each other for dear life beneath a cliff, and played in harmony within the palace walls. He promised her forever, and at last she dared to glimpse the light beyond the darkness.
But when she waited, full of joy, for him to ask for her hand, what came instead was
“Xia Zhinian is my daughter.”
An imperial edict severed their love. She was sent to marry in a foreign land, never to return home.
But they didn't know
She had never been a pawn for others to move.
“If you insist on making me empress, then I will make the whole world remember my name.”
A ruthless, restrained prince × a clear-eyed empress who embraces the darkness
Adoptive siblings | A tragic political marriage | Power struggles and revenge | The heroine's rise to the throne
