The orphan Su Baiyun entered the palace as a fake eunuch for her younger brother. She had been treated harshly by her relatives since she was a child. Only His Majesty, who paid a private visit in disguise, gave away two taels of silver. She didn't know that it was just an unintentional move by the emperor because he thought she was blocking his way, but she regarded it as a miracle, and from then on she looked up at it in the mire of the palace.
The female general Linqi held a large number of troops. In order to overcome her father's suspicion and tarnish her reputation, she personally sent her "corrupt official" father to the guillotine. She had an insight into Su Baiyun's daughter's identity and delusion, and instead of exposing it, she walked step by step in the treacherous court to help her get closer to the emperor who was doomed to be suspicious and ruthless.
Su Baiyun turned a blind eye to Lin Qi's affection and protection, and only wanted to climb to the top of imperial power. With support overtly and covertly, Linqi watched her sweetheart fly into the flames of others, crushing her full love into a blade that protected her.
When Su Baiyun finally touched the cold dragon robe, she was shocked to realize that the goodwill back then was just dust in the emperor's eyes; and that the person she ignored behind her had already paved a bloody path for her with his life.
The power scheme is like a net, and the emperor's heart is like an abyss. When the truth tore apart all the pretense, they finally saw each other clearly on the ruins of power, but they could only sacrifice their lives in the fire of the overthrow of imperial power, and face this fate called "Ember Tribulation" together.
Purpose: In the desperate situation of imperial power, explore the self-awakening and ultimate redemption of the objectified people.
