The deep palace of Dajing, with its towering red walls and etiquette like a sword, has trapped countless foolish people.
The young emperor Xiao Jin has not long been on the throne. He is handsome and unruly, and has a free and easy temperament like a wanderer. However, he is trapped in a nine-layered palace, walking alone between imperial power and rules. The young eunuch An Shi has a gentle face and a calm and reserved temperament. Since entering the palace, he has strictly abided by his duty and kept his eyebrows low. He just wants to live a stable life in the turbulent palace and never dares to think of anything wrong.
One master and one servant, their identities are Yunni. This is the most common encounter between master and servant in the deep palace. There is no violation of the rules and no intersection. But fate cannot be violated, day and night, love quietly grows. It is the emperor's initiative to approach and fall in love, it is the slave's forbearance and surrender, a forbidden love that cannot be tolerated in the world, quietly growing in a corner that no one knows.
They hide their sincerity and emotions, thinking that they can hide it from everyone in the world and steal a moment of tenderness. Little did they know that there were no secrets under the high wall, and the passionate embrace and kiss was broken on the spot by the sudden return of the Queen Mother. Forbidden love is revealed all over the world, etiquette and law are not tolerated, and the government and the public are shocked.
In the end, an imperial edict and two sharp blades cut off all the deep and shallow relationships.
The young emperor and the docile eunuch both went to death, and their heads fell to the ground, ending this love that went against heaven.
No rest of life, no staying together, no turning point.
With one chop, both hearts are dead.
It started from the first meeting in the palace, and finally ended with death in the execution ground, leaving only a period of deep sadness, and was buried in the wind and snow of the Forbidden City.
Purpose: To use the forbidden love in the palace to accuse feudal etiquette of stifling human nature and true love, to express the dilemma of love and life under the shackles of identity, and finally to use the tragedy of double death to describe the inescapable fate and sadness of the era.
