Everyone fears Shen Jinghan, the masked eunuch in power.
The imperial harem is full of beauties, yet he only ever clings to the Empress.
No one knows he isn’t really a eunuch.
No one knows he is a prince who was lost outside the palace.
And no one knows that the Empress has never shared the bedchamber with the Emperor, and the child she carries is actually his.
They were childhood companions and spies, superior and subordinate, forbidden lovers.
He takes her by force, and she goes from resisting him to surrendering herself to him.
When the palace coup comes, they execute the traitorous tutor and depose the foolish Emperor.
They place their child on the throne. She becomes the Empress Dowager, and he takes sole control of the court.
From then on, in the quiet depths of the palace, he spends every night in the Empress Dowager’s chambers.
A kingdom stretching ten thousand miles is nothing compared to the one person in his arms.
