On the night of the fire in the cold palace, I was supposed to be burned into a charred corpse for Miss Cui.
In order to survive, I pretended to be the concubine next door who had just died, and also saved her son who was seeking death.
He is beautiful, but has a gloomy and eccentric temperament. He knew I was a fake, but he didn't expose it.
I originally thought of finding an opportunity to escape, but I made one mistake and one step after another. I was forced to stay in the palace and became his nominal "mother", dependent on each other.
I coaxed him to live, tricked him into drinking medicine and eating, and spent the rest of his life with him in the cold palace.
Later, I left quietly, and everyone said that the Ninth Prince was crazy.
Reunited many years later, the abandoned son in the cold palace became the noble prince.
He said: "Sister, whatever you want, I will give it to you."
I smiled and coaxed him, then stabbed the knife into his heart with my own hands.
"I want your kingdom. Do you want it?"
Purpose: What "For the Country" wants to explore is not the ownership of the throne, but how a person should live under the tide of the times and the struggle for power. Some people learn to love others because of suffering, and some people learn to hurt others because of suffering; some people shoulder responsibilities and move forward, while some people are trapped by responsibilities for their entire lives. Everyone in the story makes a choice under the influence of fate, and also bears the price of the choice. The female protagonist goes from searching for who she is to deciding what kind of person she becomes; the male protagonist goes from being an abandoned son in a cold palace who wants to die to being willing to take on the world to protect important people; and those who compete for the throne are not simply divided into good and evil. They all have their ideals, regrets, and things they don't get. What this book hopes to convey is: one's origin cannot determine one's value, and suffering cannot determine one's future. What truly defines us is not what happens to us, but who we choose to be when faced with our destiny.
