Su Huiyi, the empress’s trusted confidante, holds immense power at court. She established an unspoken rule: To rise to a high position, you must first share her bed.
Pei Yanzhi, a brilliant young man from a humble family, is forcibly taken into her household as her “disciple” because of his beautiful looks, and made to endure endless humiliation.
Everyone says he is nothing but a dog kept by Madam Hui.
He bides his time, using her to seize power and relying on her influence to build his faction.
When he personally fastens the shackles around her jade-like neck, she finally demands, her voice sharp with fury:
“Pei Yanzhi, where is your conscience?!”
He chuckles at her words and gently wipes the blood from the corner of her eye, his touch as tender as ever:
“From the day you taught me to trade sex for power, I threw that thing away.”
