A fallen, long-suffering noblewoman × a regent who disguises herself as a man
In the first year of Jianhe, Xue Tang, daughter of a convicted official, was named Noble Consort.
In the seventh year of Jianhe, the powerful Regent and the Noble Consort Yu of the inner palace both died in a sea of flames. People said the Regent had violated the harem and carried on an affair with Noble Consort Yu, never knowing that the tragedy of two women had just begun.
Years later, a folk song became popular in the capital:
Last night, spring waters chased the Tang blossoms; the flowers lit the soul of an old friend in the cold palace.
Her fragrant soul drifted away with the waters; Xiangjun grieved, her hatred locked beneath the Ming blossoms as spring came once more.
All my life, I have been used. But this time, I will choose for myself.
(You can decide for yourselves whether it's friendship or romance.)
