A ruler with an iron grip on power
Her aloof foster brother
They come at her with their own agendas, each trying to tame and possess her.
But He Tong never hides her greed, selfishness, vanity, or ambition to climb higher.
She is determined to step on these lofty men and carve out her own path, one step at a time.
