Li Chengning is Princess Xuancheng. She was born noble, but she was restrained everywhere. The imperial court allowed her to run the government, but did not allow her to truly take power.
Lin Zhao is the daughter of the guilty minister and the most undeserving variable in the game. Step by step, she walked to Li Chengning's side, and step by step, she walked into the inevitable fate.
At first, I just respected her, believed in her, and was willing to die for her.
Later I learned that deep loyalty can also give rise to feelings that shouldn't be there.
But there are monarchs and ministers, superiority and inferiority, etiquette and the world between them.
Li Chengning could afford grace, but he couldn't afford favoritism; Lin Zhao could afford being sent, but he couldn't afford personal love. One cannot sacrifice all the people for one person, and one dare not think beyond one's duty. They all know that if they put this affection in the open, what awaits them is not mutual support, but etiquette and law.
The more enamored they are, the less capable they are of falling in love.
The closer you get, the more you have to return to your duties as a king and a minister.
Since the world would not allow them to stand side by side, they walked to the top step by step and changed the rules of the world with their own hands.
Intention: Destiny promotes them to be kings and ministers, and also puts affection into etiquette. Only when they reach a higher place can they dare to ask for someone to stay with them.
