Everyone in the world envies Nangong Jin for reaching the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, taking charge of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and enjoying the glory of a lifetime accompanied by three monarchs.
But no one knows that her journey to becoming an emperor began in the muddy and troubled times when she was ten years old.
An orphaned girl, she struggled to survive step by step. She used her medical skills to protect her body, and her business skills to establish herself. She worked hard from the bottom up and down, and overcame the treachery in the house, the turmoil in the court, and the shackles of the old dynasty. She relied on her own ability to create a generation of female queens.
Accompanying her through this stormy journey were three people who had witnessed all her humbleness, embarrassment and loneliness.
Song Mo has been with her since she was young, and has seen her fragility and strength that no one can see. He hides in the shadows for the rest of his life, shielding her from all the open and secret arrows. He doesn't care about her status, but only wants her to be safe for the rest of her life.
Xiao Ce grew up with her across mountains and seas. He watched the ignorant girl transform into a strategizing empress. He was filled with passion and heartache. He never held her back with selfish motives, and only wanted to protect her family and country, and ensure her freedom every year.
Wen Jingheng has been playing games with her for half his life, and he sees through the fatigue and loneliness buried deep in her eyes, and understands that she can't help but weigh the pros and cons. Knowing that the emperor was originally a lonely Shura field, he supported her court foundation and shouldered the ups and downs of the sea of power for her.
The three of them never had any fight, jealousy, or bloody Shura.
They understand each other tacitly, and each performs his or her duties. One protects one's body, one protects the country, and one maintains a foothold in the court.
My love was never the Empress Rongguang, but the little girl who gritted her teeth to survive at the age of ten, stumbled and refused to admit defeat.
Nangong Jin often felt guilty.
With the modern obsession with one-on-one relationships, she always felt that she owed too much, was in a dilemma, and felt uneasy.
But she doesn't know——
For them, to accompany her through a desperate situation, to go through half a life, to share a share of the weight of the country for her, so that she no longer has to bear the wind and rain alone, is the most willing fulfillment in this life.
This was never a love entanglement involving competition for favor in the harem.
It is a two-way fulfillment of all members that spans half a lifetime, is gentle and restrained, does not ask for feedback, and redeems each other.
Purpose: To break the stereotype of "jealousy and hostility" among multiple male protagonists, the three of them have the same goal, understand each other, and divide the work to protect the female protagonist, showing the gentle, empathic, and selfless side of the male characters, conveying the concept of tolerance, mutual help, and no internal friction in interpersonal relationships, jumping out of love entanglements, and settling on long-term confidants and dependence.
