In the fourteenth year of Tianbao's reign, the city of Chang'an was destroyed. I, the most unworthy concubine of the Cui clan, had my legs broken by my brother and was thrown into a heap to die.
In despair, a woman covered in blood appeared in front of me. She claims to be from another world, has insight into the future, and can help me ascend to the throne, but what she wants is my successor.
Since then, two villains abandoned by the world have formed the most dangerous alliance. She used intelligence as a blade, and I used killing as a front. In the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, we calculated, used, betrayed, and clung to each other, trampling this chaotic world under our feet.
I thought that we were each other's only salvation, and we were the same kind born through tempering.
Little did I know, she had already set up the most gentle and fatal situation for me.
The moment the sharp blade from the pillow penetrated my chest, I finally understood that the ultimate price of changing my life against fate was not to become a tyrant, but to bury everything I had with my own hands...
