Everyone said that Concubine Yan, an orphan girl who was brought back by the emperor from outside two years ago, was so arrogant and domineering that she was able to walk away in front of the queen because of her seductive behavior.
But only Concubine Yan herself knew that she was just a pawn placed by the queen beside the emperor in order to ensure that the queen's son's position as prince was stable. As long as the emperor died and the prince successfully succeeded to the throne, that would be the day of his death.
Concubine Yan was carefully planning her own way out while dealing with the ruthless queen and the mediocre emperor.
Finally, the emperor died, leaving behind the crown prince's edict of enthronement. The royal guards surrounded the imperial concubine's palace, and Concubine Yan could not escape at all.
Just when Concubine Yan was despairing and thought she could not escape death, the former prince and now the new emperor pushed open the palace door and gently shouted to Concubine Yan: "Sese, don't be afraid."
