Xie Zhaohua died on a snowy night.
On the day when the husband she had supported with all her strength ascended the throne, the entire Xie family was executed, and she, the queen, was given poisonous wine.
Before she died, she realized that she was just the cleanest stepping stone on his throne.
When I opened my eyes again, I went back to the autumn banquet three years ago.
The third prince Xiao Rui, who was as gentle as jade, was kneeling in front of the emperor begging to marry her, just like in his previous life.
In the silence of the whole hall, Xie Zhaohua picked up his wine glass and turned towards the darkest corner.
The seventh prince Xiao Jue, who was forgotten in the cold palace and avoided by everyone, was looking up at her, his eyes like daggers.
"Your Highness," she leaned down in front of him, her voice as soft as a sigh, "How about we negotiate a deal?"
"I will help you climb to the top," her fingertips traced the rim of the wine glass, her eyes burning with the karma brought back from hell, "You will... Allow me to kill a few people with my own hands."
Xiao Jue smiled. He crushed the cup in his hand and let the blood drip down mixed with the remaining wine.
"Okay," he said, "but if you lose—"
He leaned forward and brushed the corner of her lips with his blood-stained fingertips, leaving a hot mark.
"Just stay in hell with me."
Later——
The third prince discovered that his fiancée, who was always obedient to him, had become his most terrifying political enemy.
She calculated the hearts and minds of the people, worked every step of the way, and overturned the chess game of the entire dynasty.
And the seventh brother, whom he looked down upon, was standing behind her, holding the sword for her, paving the way for her, and handing her authority into the palm of his hand.
The courtiers all said that the seventh prince was bewitched by a witch.
Only Xiao Jue knew that he was willing to perish.
When she finally killed her enemy in the Golden Palace and turned around, he handed over the Emperor's Jade Seal.
"Xie Zhaohua," he hugged her from behind in front of all the civil and military officials, held her bloody hand, and pointed to the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.
"See clearly - this is my betrothal gift, and it is also your kingdom."
"There has never been a deal between you and me."
"It's me who must go to this world with you."
——I wanted to go to hell alone, but you brought the world to me.
Then let's destroy this old world together and build a new one.
Purpose: True revenge is not to become a more perfect victim, but to transcend hatred and regain the authority to define good and evil.
