The Eastern Palace Shrouded in Pale Light

He is the heir apparent I have sworn to destroy, and I am the captive he willingly keeps at his side. My words of power have no effect on him, yet that day, my heartbeat roared in my ears. He knows all my secrets, but I cannot see through the abyss in his eyes. Only when my memories returned and the world turned upside down did I understand: That game, which began with hypnosis and betrayal, was never about the throne. The stakes were two hearts, locked in the mire of political schemes, tearing at each other and saving each other in turn. “Li Dan, if I am destined to be the blade aimed at you, then let that blade turn around and shield you from every harm for the rest of your life.” This time, he makes his heart his blade and surrenders to you. Theme: In the Eastern Palace, words of power are bound; reason drowns in deep affection. They pledge themselves together with the realm and sink into ruin together for the rest of their lives.
