Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Shen Qingjiu is ruthless and merciless.
Shen Qingjiu is the daughter of Meng Po. Punished for a mistake, she was reincarnated with the memories of her past life. She brews excellent tea, winning the emperor’s heart.
She steps over her enemies’ corpses to claim the throne as empress, supports the young emperor, and controls the court. Yet on that one day, she turns toward the frontier and goes white-haired overnight.
No one knows that her sudden white hair is for the young man who died on the battlefield.
Nor does anyone know that she once only wanted to be a carefree daughter of the principal wife and share her life with him. No one knows how Shen Qingjiu rose to the pinnacle of power and avenged her mother,
Until, many years later, news of victory arrives from the border. The one she had long believed died on the battlefield returns to court in triumph.
He looks at the empress dowager seated beside the young emperor, hatred filling his eyes. “Your Highness has enjoyed every luxury. Do you still remember Lin Mobai?”
Shen Qingjiu lowers her eyes, trying to conceal their bloodshot redness. “I don’t remember!”
