In the sparse shadows of apricot blossoms, she met that person for the first time. He said that he was the king of Guojun, with gentle eyebrows and elegant conversation. Later I found out that he was the Lord of the World. As soon as you enter the palace gate, you are as deep as the sea. From then on, among the red walls and green tiles, you will be startled every step of the way.
Zhen Huan thought that as long as she did not fight or rob, and kept her peace, she would be able to find a safe place in the Forbidden City. But the deep palace has never been a safe haven - Concubine Hua is as sharp as a knife, and every word is bloody; the queen's care is like honey, sweet but hidden in poison; even An Lingrong, who used to be timid, became blurred after being favored. She watched helplessly as Shen Meizhuang's children turned into a pool of blood, watched as the sisterly love turned into a stab in the back, and then she understood the truth: in this harem, if you don't fight, you will die.
From Suiyu Pavilion to Yangxin Palace, from Wan Guiren to Xi Guifei, she walked up step by step, stepping on the tip of the knife with every step. She uses gentleness as armor, calculates the chips with her heart, and fights her way through intrigues. But when she finally stood at the top and looked back, she realized that there was no one around her - those who loved her and those she loved had all become victims in this magnificent cage.
The apricot blossoms in the Forbidden City bloom every year, but the people who look at the flowers are no longer the innocent girls they were before.
"Wish to win the heart of one person and stay together forever" - what she wanted when she entered the palace, but when she left the palace, she realized that it had always been the most extravagant delusion. Half a million words, describing the joys and sorrows of the palace for decades. This is not a story of counterattack, but how a woman turned her life into a lonely city step by step in a desperate situation.
The night is long and the palace lanterns are like beans. This game is about people's hearts.
