A great upheaval determines the lives of several women.
When fate brings them face to face, escape is impossible. Hua Rongyu and Xi Zhining never imagined that a revenge game in the imperial palace would draw them into a tangled romance that neither could sever nor make sense of.
A jade pendant brings a long-buried past to light and stirs up a storm. The past lies hidden beneath the truth like a riddle.
Hearts intertwine. Is it heartlessness, or deep affection?
A game of schemes, traps, and tenderness.
As the poem goes:
Once within the painted palace walls, all is deep and grand,
Yet splendor and loneliness are more profound than ever.
Three thousand glories wither and bloom anew,
Who can say that love's partings and reunions are true?

Theme:
It seems that Hua is going to be the empress. I don't know if Xi's appearance can be restored in the future. I still can't stand the disfigurement. I already had a big scar on my arm.
Oh? Is this going to end hastily? It's okay to give a good ending.
I didn't expect that after ten years, the author could insist on finishing the article. I really like it. Will there be an extra chapter? [Hold your cheek] Will you write anything else? [Hold your cheek]
I originally thought it would end this year, but I didn't expect it to end this year [burst crying]
Happy New Year! Sprinkle more sugar [sprinkle flowers]
Haha, I haven't finished watching it after so long, but I finally feel like it's getting better.
I jumped and took a look, it's not bad, I'll come over and finish it when it's finished.
This article is very well written! ! It's just slower, not enough to watch.
No more, I just like this delicate description of my heart, but can you please not be so cruel... Just wait for the update
I hope it can make them a little sweeter. Don't torture from beginning to end. I felt sad after watching Hometown. Tortured from beginning to end.
