Shangguan Xiao You, the prime minister's legitimate daughter, was engaged to Jingbian General Zhou Heng since childhood.
The new emperor Yun Su is her cousin who grew up with Zhou Heng. After he ascended the throne, he made many accusations and plunged the Zhou family into the abyss.
On top of the golden palace, he held my chin, and in his eyes was the emperor's desire for exclusivity that could not be resisted: "Enter the palace, or Shangguan and the Zhou family will be executed."
I took off my boudoir skirt and put on the royal concubine's gorgeous clothes he gave me, and became the most dazzling caged bird in his harem.
He thought that by breaking my wings and grinding away my pride, he would be able to gain a true heart.
He asked for it every night, watching me "pregnant" heirs for him, watching him abolish the queen and clearing out the six palaces for me, watching him think he had all the love in the world under his control.
He doesn't know.
The "pregnancy medicine" I drank with a smile every day was always Bizi Decoction.
The docile concubines I "carefully selected" for him are all dead soldiers of the Zhou family.
The tears that fell from the corners of my eyes when I was happy were never for him.
Little did I know that the young general whom he feared to death and whose body was not even allowed to be preserved would always live in my heart.
Our child will eventually take back everything that belongs to the Zhou family on his most cherished throne.
