She is an orphan girl who crawled out of the mire. She used blood as ink and bones as blades. She rose from being a lowly maid in the Prime Minister's Palace to the top of the harem. With her phoenix bones, she broke the iron law of a poor family with no heirs, but she was ultimately trapped in the high walls of the palace.
He was the young emperor who ruled the world. He gave her supreme honor and favor, but also gave her heart-wrenching pain. When the love reaches the extreme, he is willing to give everything for her; when the suspicion reaches the depth, he can crush her hopes with his own hands - the cold suspicion after the miscarriage, the isolation in the cage after the exposure of the life experience, the blood feud, and the shackles of imperial power that are difficult to break.
From mutual use to deep love, from falling in love and killing each other to being separated by life and death, their love is like sugar on the tip of a knife and a fire that burns their bodies, eventually burning into ashes within the palace wall.
"Your Majesty, this phoenix crown is stained with blood, and this palace is bone-piercing. I don't want to see you again in the next life." She breathed her last breath, and the phoenix hairpin fell and broke into two pieces.
Sitting thousands of miles away, guarding an empty palace alone, he used all the regrets in the rest of his life to carve her name in the history books, and also carve the belated words "If there is an afterlife, I will not be an emperor, but only your beloved."
The bones of the phoenix are not broken, but the deep love is gone. It is an extremely tumultuous imperial sadomasochism, and a tragic song of a poor family that will burn a lifetime.
