Xiao Zhuohua lived a life of willfulness, cooking oil with fire and brocade with flowers. He was the most dazzling pearl of the General's Mansion.
In the spring hunting of that year, she rode her horse and crushed the fallen flowers outside the palace wall. Her red dress was as fierce as fire, attracting the eyes of all the officials and the emperor's smile.
She once wanted to be like an eagle soaring into the sky, but due to an imperial edict, her wings were broken and she was buried in the palace. In the eyes of the world, she became the domineering, jealous, and unparalleled doting concubine Xiao.
The palace is so heavy, and all the wings are broken. In the end, my infatuation is wrong, and I am trapped in jail, tied in the palm of one person.
The past has been cleared, and the blood is cold before enlightenment...
Deep in the palace, there are still white horses with silver saddles; outside the palace walls, wild geese are moaning in the empty space.
That year, in the prison cell of the deep palace, the concubine, whose heart had turned to gray, for the last moment of her family and country, tore off her luxurious clothes and hung them up in the cold beams and rafters.
Twenty-eight-year-old Xiao Zhuohua closed her eyes and seemed to see the endless wilderness that belonged to her when she was young.

Wei Chengen never thought he would be tempted.
He will always remember that day.
He knelt in the middle of the palace road, soaked with sour water. In his ears he could hear the clear ringing of the bell as the imperial concubine drove away. He sneered with the palace people: "How can a rootless thing deserve to look up at the empress?"
At that time, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood, vowing that one day, she would kneel down and beg him.
Later he did it.
She was trembling, crying, and entangled in his arms, like a peony that he held in his palm and crushed repeatedly. He enjoyed her infatuation, and even more enjoyed the humble expectation in her eyes - as if he was truly someone who could give her his sincerity.
But he couldn't give it.
He didn't even have a complete body, only a heart soaked in hatred and desire.
She was originally chosen because she was dazzling enough and stupid enough.
He climbed out of the filthy mud, calculated the hearts of the people, made progress step by step, controlled the palace, and subverted the government and the opposition.
I thought I had everything under control.
He didn't understand why the fire in her eyes went out when her family was ruined and she had no one to rely on except him. Just because of Lin Heng, who was far away at the border and whose life or death was uncertain, he decided to stop here.
No problem. A bird with broken wings cannot easily cross the palace wall. He had plenty of patience and tamed her back into his hands.
Until she took the initiative to ask for a meeting.
He was ecstatic, thinking that he had finally waited for her to give in.
But I don't know that this side is farewell forever.
