Lin Yun was sixteen years old when he was sent to the palace. The attendants in the same batch were either missing fingers or ears, or they never came back. She was the only one to survive seven days intact.
In the name of "nourishing the emperor's energy", this dynasty regularly harvests the flesh and blood of its attendants to support the royal family's "destiny". Lin Yun's mission is simple - survive. But Aunt Weiyuan taught her much more than serving tea and water: she taught Lin Yun how to read people, hide their hearts, and navigate through the gaps of power. She wanted to send Lin Yun to one person: the emperor of the current dynasty to sacrifice Liao Yuan.
But what she didn't know was that every step she took was paving the way for a prince who should have died. Twenty years ago, another girl walked the same road and died on the copper bed of Jitianyuan. Twenty years later, Grandma Shen handed over the same mission to Lin Yun. But after Lin Yun walked into that door, what she discovered was something deeper and further than the mission given by Grandma Shen - so far that she herself never thought about where she would end up standing.
