Her name is Shen Qingyi, the most inconspicuous concubine in Zhenbei Palace.
When she was fourteen years old, she performed a sword dance at her father's birthday party and sealed her throat with a sword. That night, when the sun and blood moon appeared, she realized that her mother did not die of illness, but was poisoned; she was not a concubine, but the orphan of the previous princess, a "bastard" who did not know who her father was.
From then on, she had only one thought: kill.
Killing his aunt - mixing arsenic into beauty pills, causing her to bleed from all her orifices, and she struggled to death for three days.
Killed the Minister of Rites - poisoned him with crane crown red at the banquet, causing him to convulse and die in public.
Killing the censor doctor - stabbed her heart with a dagger in the street, blood splattered all over her face, but she didn't wipe it away.
Kill the emperor - suffocate the unconscious man with a pillow, then walk out of the bedroom, hold on to the door frame and laugh for a long time.
She burned the ancestral temple to obtain the jade seal, imprisoned her brother-in-law and broke off the friendship, and guarded the capital to repel the rebels.
Ten years later, she put on her dragon robe and sat at the highest point of Tai Chi Hall.
All the officials knelt down and worshiped, and the mountains shouted long live.
But she couldn't cry. It wasn't until she opened the suicide note left by her mother that she discovered that the people she had killed and the path she had taken in the past ten years were all based on lies——
But she just smiled and said, "Mom, thank you for telling me. Now, I can really be myself."
This is the bloody rise of a woman from concubine to empress.
This is also a daughter's lonely journey to find the truth among lies.
Under the blood moon, everyone is guilty.
And she was just the most ruthless one among them.
