The new emperor Chu Zhao, who usurped the throne with cold-blooded regicide, saw the enemy prince Xiao Huan at the palace banquet who was supposed to die in the war to destroy the country.
That person turned out to be the "beauty" who paid tribute. She was dressed in plain clothes and had a chain around her neck, but she was still extremely graceful and looked down upon all living beings.
Everyone in the world knew that the new emperor hated the prince who had caused him complete defeat and would be humiliated to the extreme.
Chu Zhao did indeed do this. He imprisoned Xiao Huan in a deep palace, demoted him to a slave, and bullied him wantonly.
But no one knows what kind of flame of revenge is burning in those seemingly obedient eyes under the curtains in the middle of the night.
The court is in turmoil, the old forces are counterattacking, and the border wars are rising again.
He needs his wisdom to pacify the world, and he needs his power to revenge and restore the country.
"Be my queen, and I promise you to take revenge with your own hands."
"Your Majesty is not afraid that I will kill you first if I gain power?"
"You might as well give it a try. Should you restore the country first, or should I... Tame you first?"
A deal that began with conspiracy and lust tightly bound two unrepentant careerists together.
They tested each other in the dragon bed, played games in the court, and stood side by side on the battlefield.
In the end, will we fall into the abyss together, or will we control the country together?
