She is a sick and orphaned girl from a butcher's family. She is as gentle as a willow but as tough as a cattail.
He is the orphan of the former crown prince. He bears a blood feud and grows up nourished by hatred.
When she was six years old, she handed him a tangerine peel candy: "Eating something sweet will make you feel less bitter."
It was the first candy in his life and the first ray of light in his dark world.
She whistled for him and protected him from the butcher's knife.
He held a knife for her to kill, and held up a sky for her in the whirlpool of power.
She was the only warmth in his dark life, and he was the hardest armor in her weak life.
From the alleys of Lin'an Town to the splendid court halls.
From two hearts leaning on each other to the legend of a generation of emperors and empresses.
This is their story -
A story about how light shines into darkness and how love redeems hatred.
"My queen does not need family background. I am her family background."
"I am not anyone's weakness, I am his armor. He protects the world, and I protect him."
