~ She is the cat demon empress who launched a new policy with an iron fist, and she is also the lonely soul "Laifu" who was killed in the wilderness in her previous life.
~ He is a cold-faced powerful minister who hides the blood edict of the dead king, and he is also a rebellious man who is willing to sacrifice his loyalty for her.
Emperor Wujuan ascended the throne on the bones of the previous dynasty, abolished the clans, reduced taxes, established charity homes, and used thunderous means to break up centuries of accumulated abuses. Hua Buji, the youngest Taifu in the previous dynasty, had a hot blood edict on her sleeve, "Kill the demon girl and restore the mountains and rivers." The tip of the arrow was once aimed at her back, but in the end it shot down the dead soldier who sneaked up on him.
The new policy is like a knife, stirring up troubles in aristocratic families. The siege of the city by the refugees is the tactic, the secret message of collaborating with the enemy is the blade, and the hanging of the head at the Meridian Gate is her cold answer. In the middle of the night in the imperial study room, he caught her in a cat-like state while chewing dried fish, her throat purring unconsciously, and his dagger slipped out half an inch - blood burning her heart, murderous intention and throbbing burning at the same time.
On the day when the imperial examination results were released for a poor family, blood splattered on the dragon pillars in the Jinluan Palace. The palace coup happened again, and his sword deflected deadly poisonous arrows for her: "Your Majesty was wrong. I never aimed my arrows at you that night during the palace coup." The blood edict of the previous dynasty was scratched by the edge of the sword, and what was written in new ink on the back was her vision on the night boat in Jiangling: "May the smoke from cooking all over the world continue."
Undercurrents in the court are surging, and "ominous" and "evil" attacks are rising again. He caressed the ferocious scar on his chest, which was the mark of blocking the poisonous arrow for her; the ugly burn mark on her shoulder was the mark of her determination to burn all the mountains and rivers for him.
The cat demon empress and the cold-faced powerful minister tore each other apart in the iron-blooded conspiracy, and lived and died together under the flames of the netherworld. The bloody edict has been burnt, the lonely minister is sick and his bones are hidden, and his demonic eyes hide his edge. Are these broken mountains and rivers and the unfinished New Deal an inevitable karma, or an opportunity to take charge of the world together?
He wanted the fireworks in this world to continue, and she wanted him to witness He Qing Haiyan with his own eyes.
