Parallel time and space in ancient times, the 50-year-old Chang Dynasty is fictitious, avoiding the real history of the Ming Dynasty. The system and style are similar to the ancient Chinese dynasty, and the situation is turbulent and uncertain. Less than half a year after the death of the first emperor, the 20-year-old crown prince hastily succeeded to the throne. The imperial power was not stable, the court officials controlled the government, the vassal kings were eyeing, undercurrents on the border were surging, and the new emperor was deeply trapped in the dilemma of centralization. This was a critical and turbulent period in the transition between old and new power.
The ultimate pull of falling in love and killing each other. One person is free and loose, breaking rules wantonly, while the other person is trapped in the palace and abides by power. When they first met, they were tit-for-tat, testing and exploiting each other. As they got along, they fell into each other's traps and secretly fell in love with each other. However, due to the disparity in status, the shackles of imperial power, and suspicion and defense, they continued to suspect, test, suppress, and pull.
They are kings and ministers, rivals, and confidants, and they are each other's only weakness and flaw. In the early stage, they are pitting each other and pushing each other to the limit; in the middle stage, they are plotting and scheming, falling in love and torturing each other; in the later stage, there is two-way redemption and breaking the situation side by side. The whole process is intertwined with sweetness and cruelty, with a strong sense of fate.
