Synopsis

Gu Jinghong, the most highly esteemed young lady in the capital, watched her family fall overnight. The Seventh Prince bought her for five thousand taels of gold and sent her to the Golden Sparrow Pavilion, a gilded den of pleasure for the powerful.

From a treasured daughter of a marquis's household to a “rare gem” put up for sale, she learned to smile, to endure, and to dance on the edge of a blade. The night her red-robed sword dance captivated the crowd, she thought she had found a lifeline. She never knew she had long been a pawn on someone else's board.

The emperor said, “A Yao, I could do without my empire, but I cannot do without you.”

The Seventh Prince said, “If there is another life, could you choose me just once?”

She chose the emperor. It took her eight years to rise to Noble Consort, eighteen years to protect their children, and half a lifetime to lead the Gu family to glory.

But as she lay dying, she held his hand and said only, “I did fall for you.”

In this life, she climbed out of the mire and became her own light. She personally crushed her enemies one by one, personally sent her children beyond the palace gates, and personally chose to close her eyes in peace amid the misty rains of Jiangnan.

The phoenix that flew out of the Golden Sparrow Pavilion finally came to rest in Jiangnan.

This life was worth it. If there is another, I choose you.
