Archaeological intern Shen Zhaoning once transformed into a subjugated princess, but when she opened her eyes, she saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The previous dynasty was overthrown, and the new emperor offered a large reward for her head. She could only change her name and surname, and fled for her life in troubled times.
Until that man appeared - the prince of the new dynasty, the son of the enemy who destroyed her country and killed her relatives. He didn't know her identity, but seeing how pitiful she was, he casually picked her up and took her back to the East Palace, named her "Zhe Zhi", and treated her as the most personal maid around him.
She endured the humiliation and worked hard on the edge of a knife for three years, from serving tea and pouring water all the way until he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He treated her so well that she almost forgot that he was an enemy.
Until the news of the restoration of the remnants of the previous dynasty reached the palace, the tyrant on the dragon throne played with the jade pendant engraved with the word "Zhaoyang" with scarlet eyes.
"Zhezhi," he grabbed her chin, his voice hoarse like a trapped animal, "Should you explain to me why the princess of the subjugated country that I have placed a bounty on for three years is always beside my pillow?"
——She thought she was perfectly hidden. Little did he know that he knew who she was from the day they met.
