In order to protect the country, Shen Yuan, a powerful female factory official, castrated Xiao Jin, the enemy's prostitute, as an eunuch's favorite.
She regarded him as the sharpest knife and the most loyal dog. She was tortured in prison, poisoned wine penetrated her intestines, and she knelt down on snowy nights... She used the most cruel methods to sharpen her pride and tame her ambitions, thinking she could raise a careless killing machine. In her eyes, he was as humble as clay, and he was the most useful piece in her chess game.
Unexpectedly, this knife tempered love; this dog grew fangs.
He killed three hundred enemies for her and cut off her ears as a gift; he defended the isolated city with blood and his head grew old overnight. His loyalty turned into a crazy possessiveness that burned the world, from humble admiration to a paranoid bondage.
When the former prisoner turned into an envoy from the Northern Desert, he stood in the Golden Palace and begged to marry the woman who had pushed him into the abyss - the whole court was in an uproar.
He laughed like crazy: "Lord Governor, I was once yours, now, I want you to be mine."
This is a huge gamble between power and love, a wrestling between madness and madness.
She thought she was taming an animal, but she didn't know that she had already been entangled in the most unbreakable shackles.
When the young man took the country as his betrothal, held the Northern Desert Jade Seal, and knelt at her feet, was she crowned queen, or was he willing to put on the collar for her?
Madness and love are antidotes to each other. When power encounters life-threatening loyalty, who will fall first?
Intention: When absolute power develops into absolute madness, it no longer matters who holds whose chain first - what matters is that in the gap between killing and betrayal, they learn to stop each other's bleeding with sincerity. If the world is all chess pieces, then we will be each other's only "playing pawn"; if there is no light in the world, then we will be each other's lights, illuminating the last softness of human nature. This book attempts to explore: Redemption is not the charity of the strong to the weak, but the complement of two incomplete souls in the mirror; when a mad dog learns to bow his head, and when a powerful official learns to trust, the so-called "intention" is nothing more than - "I am crazy for you, you live for me, and we will live this troubled world together."
