She was once the most capable female official in the East Palace and the person Xiao Chengyan trusted the most.
Later, when she was deposed, she fell from the clouds into the mud, suffered all the infamy and cold looks, and became the person who deserved to be abandoned in that power situation.
Everyone said that the emperor was ruthless, and Xiao Chengyan abandoned her for the sake of the country, the overall situation, and to let more people survive.
Only Shen Zhaowei knew that what was truly chilling was never "being chosen to sacrifice", but that after he pushed her away with his own hands, he still wanted her to be sensible, he wanted her to be considerate, and he wanted her to continue to stand there and wait for him to look back even though her body was covered in scars.
Many years later, she returned with a sharp edge, taking advantage of the situation step by step, and transformed from an outcast that everyone could bully into the person who should not be underestimated in the court.
And Xiao Chengyan, who was sitting on the throne, finally understood that what he was willing to give up was never a chess piece, but the only person in his life who was truly beside him and could really hurt him.
"I regret it."
"Your Majesty, it's your business to regret. It's my business not to forgive."
He wanted to get back his old friend, but she just wanted to get back her old debt.
A deep palace conspiracy that started with betrayal, an extreme pull mixed with love, hate, debt and unwillingness.
This time, the emperor was the one who bowed his head first; but will she look back?
