In the winter of the third year of Kaiping, the Southern Tang Dynasty was overthrown, and Shen Qingci, his attendant, was imprisoned. However, he was spotted by Chai Rong, Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and was forcibly brought into the palace. The forced kiss in the Jinluan Palace and the all-night possession of the dragon bed began his humiliating life as an emperor's concubine.
He is the criminal responsible for the country's subjugation, and he is the iron-blooded emperor. The gap in identity and the hatred between his family and his country have made this relationship full of thorns from the beginning. Chai Rong gave him the highest honor and favor, broke the rules and made him the concubine Chen, and punished the concubines in the harem for him, but he also used force to imprison him tightly, not allowing him to escape in the slightest.
Shen Qingci struggles between hatred and dependence, while Chai Rong sinks between possession and sincerity. When the poisonous snacks in the imperial dining room broke the surface calm, and when secret messages from the old Southern Tang Dynasty quietly appeared, the trust between the two men was shaky. Should he continue to be a caged bird, or should he seize the opportunity for revenge?
In the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the entanglement of love and hate between the emperor and his ministers was destined to burn away all reason until they were reborn from the ashes.
