Fengqiu Wutong

"He is her general who protects the country, but he can no longer protect her alone." "She was his bright moonlight, but she became the cinnabar mole that crucified his life." --- During the Yongchang period, the imperial power was in conflict, and patriarchal ethics were as strong as iron. Cui Ranran, the direct daughter of the Cui family, had high hopes from her family since she was a child and was carefully trained as a future queen. She had a deep love for her childhood sweetheart Chu Huaijin, the son of a general, and she once made a vow that "she will be the queen, he will be the general, and we will guard the country together." However, fate is cruel. My father is dying and my mother is seriously ill and coughing up blood. His only wish is to see her with her own eyes. An imperial edict cut off the love affair, and she was forced to marry into the East Palace and become the queen of Prince Xiao Jingyan. On the day of the wedding, the person who carried her to the sedan chair was Chu Huaijin, who had just returned from a bloody battle. "I want to be a powerful queen!" She whispered in front of the wedding sedan. "Silly girl, how can a queen have all the power?" He responded hoarsely, and his words became a prophecy. After five years in the palace, she was walking on thin ice. The former prince-husband ascended the throne and became emperor. He was deeply suspicious and his gentleness was gone. Only the emperor's cunning and control remained. He knew the name hidden in her heart and took pleasure in torturing that person. When Chu Huaijin fought bloody battles and made outstanding achievements, the emperor recalled him with an urgent order, personally handed over the wedding invitation, and invited him with a smile to witness the canonization of the queen. When Chu Huaijin was trapped in a tight siege and on a critical line of life and death, the emperor smiled and handed the battle report to her on the night of the Union. When Chu Huaijin was still injured and coughing up blood in front of the palace, the emperor proposed to marry him to the daughter of a powerful official in front of her and asked him with a smile, "Can you thank me?" She was forced to push him away personally and stab the person she loved most with the sharp knife. "Chu Huaijin, you said you would stay with me forever, why did you go to the border again?" "Because there was a silly girl who said she wanted to be a powerful queen——" The four former close friends fell apart. Zheng Luowei, the only old friend who returned, saw her with tears streaming down her face and could only warn her softly: "Ranran, be careful what you say!" "Our loyalty and love are in a dilemma. He cannot betray the country, and I cannot betray the emperor. We are destined not to be together." When she finally saw clearly the conspiracy behind the death of her father and brother, when her family and love were completely crushed, when she discovered that even her mother's last wish was a careful calculation... Cui Ranran, who was once as bright as the morning sun, finally died. The queen who was reborn in the ruins picked up the blood-stained authority and smiled lightly at the bronze mirror: "Your Majesty, don't you want a queen with all the power?" "My concubine, as you wish." Reading Guide 1. Extreme sadomasochism & power conspiracy: falling in love and killing each other, the ultimate pull between family, country, world and personal love.
