[Unhinged Power-Hungry Seme x Gentle, Refined Uke | Fated Entanglement | Intense Tragic Romance | Powerful Rivals | Redemption]

He is Xiao Che, the cold-blooded regent who wields power over the entire court. His heart is as hard as iron, and his methods are ruthless. He seeks only to overthrow this decaying dynasty and avenge a blood feud.

He is Xie Heng, a noble son of a distinguished family, radiant as the moon. He cares for the world and is compassionate and kind, the only person at court who dares to face Xiao Che’s power directly.

Xiao Che deliberately approaches Xie Heng and drags him into the abyss. He means to use Xie Heng as a pawn, crushing the powerful family behind him, a family stained by blood debts. But as the two spend day after day together, Xie Heng’s sincerity and warmth burn through Xiao Che’s frozen heart. Love takes root like poison, tearing violently against a hatred carved into his bones!

Just as Xie Heng finally gives him his heart, he discovers that the young man he once rescued in a time of desperation is now the vengeful demon relentlessly closing in on him! Worse still, the family glory he has always been proud of is soaked in the blood of Xiao Che’s closest kin!

“Xie Mingzhao, do you know that all your Xie family’s glory was built on the bones of my Xiao clan?!” Deep within the palace, Xiao Che pins him against the cold palace wall, gripping him around the waist, his eyes bloodshot.

Xie Heng’s faith crumbles, and his heart twists with pain. “Xiao Linzhi, why must you use my love to pay for your hatred?!”

Love and hate consume them; their paths and loyalties diverge. He takes a deadly hidden arrow meant for the other, staining his white robes with blood. The other gives up a chance to take revenge to save him, and ends up imprisoned. Will they join hands and rekindle a spark amid the ashes of power, or will their blood feud devour them both, bringing them down together?

As the spring breeze sweeps once more across the bloodstained ashes, can these two shattered souls find a glimmer of spring in the ashes of love and hate?
