The land is engulfed in war, with rival powers battling for supremacy. What fate awaits the young women confined deep in the palace and the innocent children? Only after Li Chengan loses everything does she realize that wealth and glory were no more than a fleeting dream, and that the peace and happiness she once knew were merely part of a struggle for power and status, woven together by self-interest.
Her country falls and her family is destroyed. The land lies in ruins, and her loved ones are scattered. The cruelty of reality shatters the beauty of the past. For the rest of her life, she can fight only for herself. Great clans with centuries of history, the cold and fragile imperial authority, and power no one can challenge: from now on, in this chaotic age, who can she rely on among the noble generals, scholars from humble families, and the last emperor? And with whom can she leave together, bound by love or family ties?
Under Chengan's rule, a lifetime of hard-won glory, clashing armies, and gathering storms. What will the woman at the pinnacle of power rely on to carry her into the future?
"I'm so tired, truly. Sometimes I don't know what I want anymore. Anling, let go. I can't help you, and you can't save me."
"Ruozhou, come earlier in our next life. Then I won't have to be strong anymore."
"I'll protect you, but Zhaor, I won't be by your side forever. Your country is your final home. You can't give me what I want."
Oh my god, you are finally hotter!
