On the wedding night, she asked the third prince to kneel down and take off his boots.
"You are mine," she said.
Shen Zhaoning married the most disliked prince in the entire capital. Everyone felt that this marriage would not be successful - what future could a daughter of a sixth-rank Hanlin family have with a cowardly good-for-nothing?
No one knew that this was what she was waiting for.
The next day, she took over the prince's mansion. On the third day, she broke the hand of the second prince's spy. She is the daughter of a "good" family, and her father has never done anything wrong in his life. She learned all these principles and then used them to become a bad person.
Because she understood when she was twelve years old: The only person in this world who can protect herself is herself.
Li Chengyuan thought he would be like this for the rest of his life - huddled in a corner, waiting to be forgotten. Until the woman walked into his bridal chamber. She told him to kneel, and he did. She asked him to kill, and he did. She forced him to stand in the court and tell everyone that he was still alive.
He is afraid of her. He couldn't live without her.
Later he became the emperor, and she listened to the affairs behind the curtain. All the civil and military officials knelt down and worshiped. She sat behind the curtain and glanced at the dark heads underneath.
She won. She holds the world in the palm of her hand and makes a person completely hers.
This is not a love story. This is a story about power.
