Lou Ying is the princess of the Zhendong Palace. She was sent to the imperial city by her father as a hostage when she was six years old. She grew up with the fifth prince Xie Lin and promised each other a lifetime. However, when she was seventeen years old, she was abandoned by her childhood sweetheart Xie Lin and left alone. She thought she would never see him again in this life.
But she didn't want fate to play tricks on her. Five years later, in order to save the life of her sweetheart Cheng Yi, she was forced to return to the imperial city and become Xie Lin's queen.
Everyone thought she came back to renew an old relationship, but little did they know that she came back to claim her life.
She teamed up with her brother to take away her father's power and evade the emperor's power.
From the queen to the queen mother who listens behind the curtain. What she never expected was that the emperor would willingly hand over the country to her.
It's a pity that she never seeks the emperor's heart, only the power of the Phoenix.
