There is a saying circulating in Nanzhao: Gu people are ruthless. This means that the Gu masters who raise Gu have no emotions.
Before entering the palace, she never believed this sentence. She is also a Gu Master who grew up in Nanzhao.
The emperor issued an edict announcing her entry into the palace, and she happily went. Little did she know that this quietly changed her destiny.
What happened after entering the palace made her understand the coldness of people's hearts: in the face of her beloved concubine's frame-up, the man she had entrusted her whole life to mercilessly killed her entire family and sent her into the cold palace.
Half a year later, she left that bleak place and entered the middle palace as the lord of the harem. But her heart could no longer warm up.
She started to fight, started to fight, because she understood that if she didn't fight, she would be the next one to become a stepping stone for others.
She fought with his beloved concubine, with his mother, and finally even with him.
She doesn't want to entrust her life to anyone, she only believes in power.
For the sake of power, she is willing to risk her life;
For the sake of power, she is willing to drag out the whole truth;
For power, she handed a glass of poisoned wine to the man who had loved her all her life;
She would sacrifice everything for power.
But besides power, what did she gain?
