My name is Xia Zhi, my mother said it means knowing how cold it is, knowing how warm it is, and knowing how difficult life is.
My name is Xia Zhi, and I am a daughter born from a foreign wife. I am destined to be of low status and never see the light of day in my life. My mother said that my father loved me the most, but until I was six years old, I had never seen what my father looked like.
My name is Xia Zhi, and I was discovered by my aunt and sold into the palace as a rough maid. If I had known that once I entered the palace, I would meet a man I hate and love and eventually lose everything, I would rather have been beaten to death by my aunt than step into the palace. But the world didn't know it earlier, and even if I knew it, so what, I would still shamelessly choose him at that time, just like he chose me alone among so many girls to be his personal one. Everything is fate and I can't blame God.
My name is Xia Zhi, and I am the most beloved woman of the Emperor of Chu.
We were close to each other in this deep palace, walking together step by step. I held him and cried in the middle of the night, watched him kiss other women, and witnessed his transformation from a boy with sparse features to a decisive and murderous king.
He said: "Xia Zhi, you know the coldness and the warmth of my heart. You are destined to be the light that soothes my life."
But Yu Jingshen, do you know that you are my Xia Zhi's salvation and my lifelong calamity.
