The concubine and his young general/prime minister
He is the most humble concubine in the Hou family. He has been struggling in the mud since he was born. He has great ambitions but has no reliance on him.
In order to gain power, he used love as bait and his body as a chess piece, exploiting him step by step, without any sincerity. He turned all his tenderness into a sharp blade for superiority, only knowing that power was the only thing he could not let down in this life.
He stepped on blood and calculations all the way up, saw with a cold eye the sinister nature of people's hearts, and cut off all escape routes with his own hands. It seemed ruthless, but in fact every step was painful to the bone.
He never loved others, he only believed in power.
But in the end, the people he used to overcome obstacles for him;
The body he betrayed bound him for life;
His heart, which he had never given away, was completely devastated and sinking.
From use to deep trap, from pretense to sincerity,
Along the way, he has burdened others and been held in their palms; he has hurt others and been protected from despair.
Only when the mountains and rivers are stable and the power is in hand will he dare to admit——
Those involuntary perditions, those unspeakable pains,
In the end, it all became evidence of love to the bone.
