Pei Qianye, the governor of Dongchang, has overwhelming power and kills people like crazy. He is known as the "Living King of Hell". On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, he led his troops to surround the Jinluan Palace, and all the officials knelt down in silence. Everyone thought he was going to force the palace to seize the throne - but he handed a glass of poisonous wine to the lips of Queen Mother Shen Yuan in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
"It's time for the Queen Mother to take the throne." He leaned over and whispered in her ear, his voice as soft as a snake.
Shen Yuan raised her head and drank the whole drink, then fell to the ground with poisonous hair.
The whole court was in an uproar and the new emperor was furious, but Pei Qianye left with a smile. That night, a prison car quietly drove into the Dongchang dungeon, and the person locked in chains was the Queen Mother who was "dead" during the day.
Everyone knew that the Governor hated her to the core—she was the one who sent him to the East Factory with her own hands seven years ago, destroying his life. But no one knows that in the year when Shen Yuan entered the palace, Pei Qianye was still the youngest secret guard under her father's command. He knelt down under the moon and swore: "This life belongs to the young lady."
In the darkness of the dungeon, he pinched her chin, his eyes full of madness: "My dear, it's been seven years. Do you think you can escape death?"
Shen Yuan sneered, pulled out the hairpin and pressed it against his Adam's apple: "Pei Qianye, do you really think I don't know - you haven't been clean at all?"
There are powerful officials on the outside, but there are mad dogs and phoenixes on the inside. Two people who are supposed to live and die are locked in the same abyss. Whoever is tempted first will be doomed.
And this country is far more than simple as they thought.
