Shen Wei was struggling to survive in the cold palace and almost died picking up half a piece of waste charcoal. Pei Zhaoxue, the chief imprint of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, sent a basket of silver bone charcoal. Others said that she had climbed up to the powerful, but she knew in her heart that these were the shackles that bound her.
The old case of her sister's tragic death in Leng Gong was full of doubts. Pei Zhaoxue had all the truth in his hands, but he repeatedly blocked her from pursuing it, being cold, harsh, and suppressing her every step of the way.
She fears him to the core, hates him for being cruel, and is always on guard, determined to reveal the truth about the fire that year.
Until the mystery is revealed, in the palace fire that burned everything, the person who sacrificed half of his life, shouldered all the sins, and suffered the fire alone was never the deceased sister, but Pei Zhaoxue.
He trapped her just to protect her for three lifetimes, and to bear all the blood feud alone.
In the early stage, the male protagonist is indifferent and abstinent × the female protagonist is full of hatred. In the later stage, he pursues his wife in the crematorium, and the sadomasochistic love is deeply redeemed in both directions.
When she knelt down to accept the charcoal fire he gave her, she rekindled the fire in the harem. She entered the flames with her bare hands and pulled him, who was covered in scars, into the sea of flames:
"Pei Zhaoxue, I will take you away this time."
