[Everyone's Favorite + Corruption + Ultimate Love Triangle + Coercion]
A beautiful, formidable, tragic, universally adored villainous minister on the receiving end, versus a host of monstrous suitors
Song Zhao, the most beautiful and most poisonous treacherous minister in the Great Sheng dynasty.
History's finest brushwork immortalized him as its foremost villainous official, born with a face that could bring an empire to ruin.
The new emperor, Li Chengji, hated him to the bone, yet on the day the capital fell, he lost his composure at the sight of those tear-filled eyes.
“Don't cry.” He wiped the blood from the corner of Song Zhao's lips. “I will grant you the honor of becoming empress.”
His former master, Li Chengyu, remained imprisoned in the palace, gazing at him with infatuated eyes. “Zhaozhao, I was the one who wronged you...”
Even Ling Sheng, the general who had betrayed him utterly, eventually knelt before the steps. “A-Zhao, I would trade my life for your freedom.”
Song Zhao dragged his broken leg and laughed softly, his bloodstained fingertips brushing the new emperor's cheek.
“Your Highness, who do you think has won?”
The gilded palace gates slowly closed behind him, sealing away the legend of a minister who had brought a generation to its knees.
He was the poisonous enchantment that lured people into ruin.
