[Two male leads / descent into darkness / doted on by everyone / rivals fighting for love / equally matched / a groveling quest to win back his love]
Xiao Zhenshu, the regent of Great Zhou, holds power over the entire court.
People call him a wicked schemer and despise his ruthlessness. He is loathed by all, and everyone avoids him.
He imprisons the God of War, commands the Embroidered Uniform Guard, abandons his childhood sweetheart, and toys with the Holy Son.
Four ruthless men, every one of them hating him to the bone and wanting him dead.
Until one day...
The wicked consort who ruled the world vanished without a word.
When he returned, he surveyed the situation with cool detachment and became an untouchable heartthrob, adored by all.
Those who once despised him went mad.
Those who once betrayed him were filled with regret.
Those who once wanted him dead knelt all around him, eyes red with tears:
“Please, look back at me.”
