She was once the daughter of the emperor's master, and her family was filled with honors. But overnight, her family was overthrown, and her family's lintel was stained with blood. Shen Qingci lived alone in the sea of blood on the mountain of corpses, hiding beside the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. He thought that this life would be like morning bells and evening drums, and he ended his remaining life.
Unexpectedly, a decree granting marriage brought her back from the quiet ancient temple to the turbulent imperial capital.
The person she wanted to marry was Prince Jing Xiao Huan, who was extremely powerful at the time and was rumored to be cold-blooded and violent - the man who personally dragged her Shen family down into the abyss.
Everyone thought this was a political marriage to appease the old ministers, and they were waiting to see how she, the daughter of a guilty minister, would be crushed within the red walls of the palace.
She suppressed her sharp edge, hid her blood feud, and worked hard at every step. She just wanted to find a chance of survival in this marriage and find out the truth.
But she never thought that the iceberg that everyone feared would actually open a way to the light for her.
Xiao Huan: "Are you afraid of marrying me?"
Shen Qingci: "Your Majesty, my life is no longer my own. What's the difference between being afraid and not afraid?"
Later, he protected her behind him, shielding her from the wind and rain: "From now on, your life belongs to me. No one can touch it except me."
It turns out that affection and intrigue have long been intertwined into an inescapable web.
