Han Tongxuan, the princess of Jiangnan, thought she was helping a prince in trouble regain his kingdom. After the Northern Expedition, ascension to the throne, and title of empress, she personally sent "Yuan Yixiu" to the throne, thinking that from then on, the emperor and empress could work together to rule the world. But she never expected that the face on the pillow was a human skin mask as thin as cicada wings.
Under the mask, hidden is the tyrant Wenzong Yuan Tutie who was overthrown a few years ago. He killed his brother to seize his legitimate son, won the civil war, and bloodbathed the clan. After he was usurped, he actually killed the real prince Yuan Yixiu, disguised himself, and deceived him all the way to Jiangnan. Now he has made a comeback, and Han Tongxuan is just a hostage in his hands to stabilize Jiangnan's military power.
The moment the truth was revealed, Han Tongxuan was imprisoned in the palace. He wanted her to continue to be the queen, to give birth to a prince with the blood of the Han family, and to use her body and dignity to pave the way to his second emperorship. But Han Tongxuan is not a clay doll - she is a princess killed from the blood and fire.
When she secretly takes over the orders of her old subordinates, when her child suddenly dies for no apparent reason, and when the Yuan royal family who fled to Mobei comes back, she will personally ignite the fire that burns away all pretense in this cage-like palace.
Look at The Masked Emperor and the Cage Queen, it starts with deception and ends with destruction.
Intention: Start with deception and end with destruction
