The life of Empress Yin Chongning was nothing short of legendary.
Yin Chongning knew that once she chose to take this path, there would be no turning back.
Her only family member died for her, and afterward she wasn't even allowed one last look.
Her closest friend of many years eventually became a stranger, and from then on they would never meet again, with the world vast between them.
The lover who had once shared life and death with her turned their blades on each other, each consumed by suspicion and determined to kill the other.
"Love or hate, in the end, I truly have become all alone."
In just ten years, she had repaid every kindness with betrayal, and lost her friends and family to death.
Snow covered the man's head. Wrapped in a fox-fur cloak, he stood there silently, as if his hair had already turned white.
Truth is, I've loved you for years.
What a coincidence. So have I.
