Ye Yusi has been carefully protected by Xiao Songyu, who is eight years older than her since she was a child. When she was born, she had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder, which everyone marveled at. The Xiao and Ye families were family friends. In order to break the rumors of an affair in the court, the elders made an engagement when she was about to reach her hair age. Under the begonia flowers, he promised softly that he would protect her throughout his life. She was full of joy and just wanted to marry him and live her life in peace.
She no longer remembers the frail boy she rescued with her brother Song Yu in an alley when she was six years old.
But Liang Chifeng never forgot. That glimmer of light became an obsession for more than ten years in the lonely palace.
When he ascended the throne and became emperor, he immediately broke the engagement, framed the Xiao Mansion, exiled Xiao Songyu, imprisoned her in a deep palace, cast a poisonous poison on her, bound her to her life, and forced her to give birth to a son for him.
No one knew that Xiao Songyu was not dead. He faked his death and went to a foreign land, endured the humiliation and became a king. He returned to the capital with his troops and fought all the way to the foot of the imperial city.
But with the same Gu, he couldn't kill the emperor, and he couldn't save her.
In the desperate situation of love and hate, she killed herself with a horizontal sword, broke the situation with her death, and entrusted her youngest son to him. Liang Chifeng also died with her.
After Zongzi ascended the throne, Xiao Songyu assisted the government throughout his life, keeping an old dream in vain.
All three wishes in life are empty, but the butterfly enters the cage and will never recover.
