Gu Changyi, the youngest Left Chancellor in the history of Great Ji, wields iron-blooded power as a woman. She is lonely and cold.
Following the System's instructions, she rescues the Third Prince, Yan Yugui, from a dungeon.
She tells him, “Come with me. I’ll keep you alive and give you everything you want.”
In the Chancellor’s residence, she is both his older sister and his master.
She sets rules, teaches him strategy and the art of balance, and carves out a blood-soaked path to survival for him through the cutthroat capital and court.
He thinks he has hidden himself well.
His meekness in the dungeon was only a disguise. The ambition in his eyes is his true nature.
Sensitive, insecure, and obsessive, he develops an intensely twisted attachment to Gu Changyi and a possessive desire to keep her all to himself.
“Call me a dog if you want. As long as I’m alive, one day I’ll bite.”
When the former disgraced prince climbs over heaps of blood and flesh toward the supreme dragon throne, and his rule is finally secure, the backlash is only just beginning.
Amid the bells of the coronation ceremony, the new emperor Yan Yugui is crowned, yet on the high terrace of Chengtian Gate, he pins her firmly to the center of the bed.
His gaze is sinister, his voice crazed: “Elder sister, you are the god who belongs to me alone.”
