I used the human heart as a chess piece and used my own strength to move from being a prisoner to a chess player.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, during the blood test, I tore open Concubine De's twenty-year hypocrisy in public, and exposed her conspiracy to collaborate with the enemy and kill the king to the bright sun.
When the dust settled, the emperor held my hand and promised me the throne, with belated regret and pain in his eyes.
But I withdrew my hand, stroked the cold phoenix seal, and looked at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains outside the palace wall:
"Your Majesty, you are wrong."
"I am reborn from the ashes, and what I want is never the back seat beside you——"
"It's the freedom to formulate rules above the Nine Palaces."
