Dr. Shen Qingyan passed into Su Jin'er, an abandoned daughter of the Hou family, and was forced to be sent to the palace as a substitute for the late noblewoman Lin Wanci. She became the shadow of the powerful minister Xiao Yan who relied on his old love. She was repeatedly framed during the persecution of concubines and the emperor's schemes, and suffered the pain of ice and lake, miscarriage and loss of a child, and severed fingers and disfigurement. After feigning death and escaping, he transformed into businessman Su Wan and rose up in the south of the Yangtze River. However, he met Xiao Yan again, and Lin Wanci "resurrected from the dead" - he pursued her with obsession, but she was filled with hatred.
The revelation of her life story was filled with blood and tears. She was actually the child of incest between the emperor and his own sister. She was reduced to a political substitute for the first half of her life. It turned out that even her bloodline was a conspiracy. Xiao Yan was torn between his loyalty to the emperor and his love for her, and saved her three times but was late every time; the prince Zhao Chengyi protected her with his life and was buried in the snowy field; the prince Murong Ling of the Yan Kingdom was deeply in love, but could not stay with her in the end.
Su Jin'er tempered the blade in despair and established "Linglong Pavilion" to secretly control the situation. At the last palace banquet, she killed her father (the emperor) with her own hands, and saw clearly the tragedy of her life in the pool of blood - from a substitute to the daughter of sin, she was never truly loved, but was just a sacrifice in the chess game of power. In the end, when he was unconscious, he realized that he and the world were just a test subject.
This is Lingchi in the name of love, the bloody nirvana of a stand-in princess. In deception, betrayal and plunder, she burns herself and illuminates the abyss.
