Tu Yuqing, the daughter of a traitorous minister, was born to be a chess piece dedicated to the emperor.
On the day her family collapsed, she took off her royal clothes and sought relief in the cold lake. But she was dragged back to hell by the emperor Shen Yan who controlled her life.
"Tu Yuqing, I won't allow you to die! You are my person in life, and my ghost in death!"
He knew that she belonged to someone, but he wanted to break her wings and imprison her in a golden cage. He gave her the supreme honor and the heart-piercing pain. He shattered all her hopes, but when she was desperate, he held up false tenderness.
"Yu Qing, let's start over, okay?"
Her smile was as bright as a flower, but her heart was already gray. When a childhood sweetheart's startling glance becomes a talisman, when the safety of his father and brother depends on the emperor's thoughts, when the flesh and blood in his belly become a bargaining chip... Tu Yuqing finally understands that there is no way out in this deep palace.
On a full moon night, blood dyed the phoenix bed. Before her consciousness dissipated, she seemed to be back in Shiyuan when she was fifteen years old. The boy with a clean smile said to her:
"My name is Shen Yan."
