In her previous life, An Lingrong entered the Forbidden City full of insecurity and self-doubt. She mistook false affection for sincerity and dependence for love.
She fretted over her friendship with Zhen Huan and Meizhuang, and lived like dust beneath the emperor’s favor. In the end, she met a lonely, agonizing death.
Living a second life, she sheds her timidity and puts her sensitivity aside.
This time, she protects the sisters who truly care for her and will not let suspicion wear away their friendship. She sees the emperor’s cold-hearted nature for what it is and no longer torments herself over illusory romance. More than that, she finds confidence in herself, dazzling the entire Forbidden City with her talent and integrity.
When flowers bloom, butterflies come. To her surprise, she also finds a tenderness meant just for her, and discovers what it feels like to be cherished.
