In the Yan Dynasty, the empress has been on the throne for three generations, but the imperial power has long been separated by relatives, family members, the Taishi Mansion and the military. Three years ago, on her wedding night, the empress Su Qingluan was forced into the palace by her beloved Gu Beichen. However, her adopted sister Lin Qingxue seized power and deposed her into the cold palace.
Three years later, Lin Qingxue wanted to use the royal sacrifice to completely erase Su Qingluan's existence. On the verge of death, Su Qingluan returned to the court with a blood edict, and with the help of the buried jade seal, the loyal loyalties of the old department, and Gu Beichen's helpless secret help, he reopened the chess game of power.
She walked all the way from the cold palace to deposing the emperor back to the dragon throne, clearing the imperial master, seizing military power, killing family members, suppressing the border, and breaking fate. However, she discovered that the so-called three calamities of the empress and the so-called blood of the destined emperor were just a cage woven by the powerful people of the past generations.
She won the court, the world, and all the betrayers, but she lost Bai Zhi, Lin Qingxue, Gu Beichen, and the last bit of her softness in the sacrifices one after another.
Qingluan cried blood, not because of hatred, but because after finally reaching the top, he realized that he could no longer love.
