Li Duo holds immense power at court. While traveling through a world in chaos, he encounters a girl with a pale face and a defiant gaze.
Her name is Wei Jia.
But the instant Li Duo sees her face, it's as if lightning has struck him. He freezes in place.
She looks exactly like his younger sister, who died when they were children.
She was the person he held dearest, the one he felt most guilty about, the one he could never let go.
Almost without thinking, Li Duo dismounts and takes the orphaned girl back to the Prince Regent's residence, placing her by his side as his personal maid.
He doesn't know that the gentle, quiet girl before him isn't called Wei Jia at all.
Her real name is Lü Weijia.
She is the legitimate daughter of Lü Jinye, the general who guards the nation.
She is the sole survivor of the Lü family, whom he sentenced to death with a single stroke of his pen.
After her family was destroyed, Lü Weijia hid her identity and struggled to survive, determined only to stay alive, uncover the truth, and avenge her family.
She never imagined she would end up beside the enemy who slaughtered her family in this way.
Even less did she expect that her face would become her deadliest disguise.
Once inside the prince's residence, Lü Weijia proceeds cautiously, planning every step. She is docile and obedient, never speaking out of turn or making a mistake.
Because she looks so much like his sister, Li Duo treats her with special affection.
He keeps her close, serving him day and night.
Step by step, he raises her status, dotes on her, falls in love with her, and makes her his princess consort. Then she ascends the throne with him and becomes Empress of Great Qi.
To fall in love with one's enemy: there could be no crueler retribution in all the world.
To avenge her family, Lü Weijia leaps from the city tower, killing with her own hands the person he loves most.
