When the fairy tale of Princess Huanzhu comes to an end, the fangs of the palace are truly revealed.
Xiao Yanzi stepped into the palace with innocence about love, but what awaited her was her husband's betrayal, her mother-in-law's vicious plot, and her sisters' separation. From the miscarriage and the loss of a child to the cover-up of family blood feud, she finally understood: in this cannibalistic Forbidden City, tears are useless, and only blood can wash away the blood.
Yongqi chose the former between power and love and pushed her into hell with his own hands; Ziwei sank step by step between interests and friendship, and finally died in depression; and she, from an innocent folk woman, turned into an avenger who fought every step of the way, even staining her hands with blood.
