To the east is an isolated island, surrounded by weak water. The phoenix has been used as a totem for generations. The royal family only gave birth to an emperor, who was granted the title of sacrificial saint. She wields the power of prophecy and protects the stability of the country. Shen Shitang, the last Tanghua Emperor in the East, has been imprisoned in the Wuji Tower since she was a child. She is bound by ethics and destiny. She can only sneak out of the royal city on the eve of the festival to steal a moment of freedom.
She accidentally fell by the beach and was caught firmly by a young man looking for shark beads. The young man's name is Gu Weixiu, with handsome features. He can blow conches and understand the sea breeze. He watches the ebb and flow of the tide with her, and promises to watch all the fireworks in the world with her one day. In just a few days, tenderness became the only light in Shen Shitang's gloomy life. She was quietly moved, but she kept in mind the saint's commandments and suppressed this ignorant feeling in her heart, treating it only as a fleeting dream.
On the night of the festival, the dream was shattered. The army of Lingzhou crossed Weishui, and the palace palace in the east was stained with blood, and the royal family was brutally slaughtered. Shen Shitang protected the still young Wang Di, and looked up to see the gentle young man that day, dressed in blood-stained court clothes, standing on the mountain of corpses, holding in his hand the shark bead that determined the fate of Donglin's country.
He is Gu Weixiu, the powerful and ruthless Taishi of Ling Zhou. He has been lurking for many years and used the water route clues she inadvertently revealed to destroy her homeland in one fell swoop.
"Thank you, Di Ji, for leading the way." He said softly, crushing all the tenderness of the youth.
In order to protect the life of her younger brother, Shen Shitang was forced to make a pact with him: she would use the saint's prophecies to help him conquer the world, and she would help her younger brother rule steadily for three years, and then she would let him do whatever he wanted after the expiration of the term. In the next few years, she endured and lay dormant, using prophecies to help him clear out his political opponents and ascend to the throne, while secretly plotting and waiting for opportunities to avenge his motherland. Gu Weixiu held the country in his hands, trapped her with his power, and planned every step of the way, but he was always in a place where no one was around, silently blocking hidden arrows and smoothing over criticism for her.
He used the country as a chess piece and her as bait, but in spending day and night together, he lost his heart.
She harbored a blood feud and was on guard at every step, but gradually she saw clearly that behind the overthrow of the past and the constraints in the future were his unspeakable difficulties.
Tangdi flowers bloom, they should have the same root and depend on each other, but one is the empress of the fallen country, and the other is the founding emperor. The hatred between family and country, the entanglement of love and hate, the shackles of prophecy, and the game of power. They began with a well-planned encounter, trapped in the deep affection that pulled each other, and ultimately had to make the cruelest choice between country and love. The sound of conch shells on the beach in the past is still in my ears, but my motherland has been destroyed and old feelings have been covered in dust. This tree with tang and flowers blooms on blood and regret after all.
