The moonlight of Handan City shines on the skirt of the dancing girl. When Zhao Ji met Lu Buwei for the first time, she did not know that she would become the Queen Mother of Qin, nor did she know that one day, she would have to choose between her own flesh and blood.
From Mrs. Proton to the biological mother of King Qin, Zhao Ji spent twenty years climbing to the top of power. When Lao Ai broke into her life with her two young sons, she indulged in this forbidden lust - it was the only warmth she could hold on to in the cold palace. However, when the war was directed at Xianyang Palace, and when the sword was pointed at Ying Zheng's throat, Zhao Ji was shocked to realize: those two babbling children were just pawns for Lao Ai to covet the country; and the eldest son she gave birth to when she was sixteen was the deepest tie in her blood.
"Zheng'er, come here." She opened her arms in the chaos and took the young man covered in blood into her arms. At that moment, she was no longer a love-intoxicated queen mother, but a mother - a mother who was willing to kill all threats with her own hands to save her eldest son.
From then on, Zhao Ji became Ying Zheng's most secret ally. She used her status as the Queen Mother to appease the clan, used her past affection to contain Lu Buwei, and used her womanly skills to deal with the guests from the six countries. The historians only recorded the illustrious martial arts of King Qin in sweeping Liuhe, but they did not know that the woman in the palace who was criticized for being "promiscuous" repaired the cracks in her son's empire time and time again in the dark night.
When Ying Zheng finally came to the throne, when he burned books and humiliated scholars with iron-blooded methods, Zhao Ji looked at the increasingly unfamiliar emperor and suddenly understood: she was no longer protecting the young man who would hide in his arms and cry, but a man who would burn the old world with fire.
