Queen Dayao Zhou Shunian, thirty years old, was born in a general family. Her father and brother were killed in battle, and her family was wronged. She was forced to marry an old and frail emperor. She was still a virgin after three years in the palace. She carries a blood feud, has the city in mind, and is as decisive in killing as Wu Zetian. She clings to power at every step, just for revenge and self-protection, but she also hides an unknown loneliness - she secretly raised the male protagonist of Long Aotian's novel, but never had a moment of tenderness.
Zhong Yinian, a twenty-year-old modern girl, is the reader of this novel who laments Zhou Shunian's beauty and strength, but accidentally travels through another world, breaks into the cold and lonely Zichen Palace, and meets this cold-faced queen unexpectedly.
There is a ten-year age difference and a huge difference in status. One is a queen in the deep palace who has exhausted all her traps, and the other is a warm and kind-hearted visitor from another world; one at first only wanted to treat the other as a chess piece, and the other only wanted to warm the other's lonely years. There is no fiery love at first sight, only the companionship of a steady stream.
It is difficult to guard against hidden arrows in the palace, and the road to revenge is bumpy. Zhong Yinian uses his innocent enthusiasm to melt Zhou Shunian's frozen armor, and Zhou Shunian uses his sharpness and strength to protect Zhong Yinian's pure kindness. An encounter that spans time and space has nothing to do with fate, but only for mutual redemption. In the end, two lonely people find tenderness and a home that belongs to each other in the deep palace of intrigue.
Intent: deep sadomasochistic love
