She is the last queen who must be buried according to the decree of the late emperor, and he is the regent who stole the country.
In the third year of Yong'an in Daye, seventeen-year-old Shen Yuan knelt before the late emperor's soul and waited for death. Pei Yan left her alone - not out of pity, but to lock her in the side hall of the Jinluan Palace and become a sharp blade to check and balance the court.
She hated him to the core. She thought that his father's death and the Shen family's exile were all his fault. She set up traps to kill him again and again, and he saved her from the edge of life and death again and again, and then handed the dagger back to her hand.
But when she finally found out the truth - behind the murder, there was a fact that she didn't dare to face. The person she had hated for ten years was just a lonely minister who took the blame for the emperor.
He blocked all the open and hidden arrows for her, but never explained a word.
She collapsed and asked him why he didn't tell her earlier. He replied: "You have been hating her for so many years. If you are suddenly told that you hate the wrong person, how will you deal with it? I would rather you continue to hate me."
In the Jinluan Palace, she had vowed to make him pay with blood. But when he really devoted himself to her, was poisoned by a strange poison, and was about to die soon, she smiled and said——
"Pei Yan, I will never repay you in this life. In the next life, will you be the son-in-law of my Shen family, okay?"
