She was the most favored daughter of the Shen family. She became famous in the capital at the age of sixteen and was known as "the most beautiful woman in the world". Her father was extremely wealthy and her mother was born into a famous family. Her childhood sweetheart, King Jingan, promised her that she would be a couple for the rest of her life. She should have been the most carefree woman in the world.
But unfortunately, she met the person she least should have met.
The biological mother of the fourth prince, Xiao Xuanye, was falsely accused of treason and treason and died in the cold palace. She was bullied since childhood and lived like a weed in the cannibal palace. Everyone knows that he is gloomy and ruthless, but no one knows his ambition hidden in the dark.
He saw her for the first time at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. She was holding a rabbit lantern, smiling like a flower, and calling other people's names.
At that moment, the hands hidden in his sleeves slowly clenched - why? Why does Xiao Xuanyi have everything? The throne, military power, and her?
What he cannot get, he destroys. What he wants, he will get it by any means necessary.
With a royal decree granting marriage, she became the fourth prince's concubine. On the wedding night, he held her chin, his eyes filled with paranoia and madness: "Zhao Ning, from now on, you can only have eyes for me."
She thought it was a nightmare, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into the trap he carefully laid——
What he wanted was never the throne, but her.
The man she had called "Brother Xuan Yi" for ten years had hidden secrets and blood feuds deeper than she imagined. The entanglement of two generations, the love and hate of three people, deep in the palace, who is the real chess player?
"I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen you." - Xiao Xuanye
