Xie Yan is the Crown Princess of Great Zhou, but only in name. No one dotes on her or loves her.
Her husband, the Crown Prince, is obsessed with alchemy and has no interest in governing. He is one step away from being deposed.
In the Eastern Palace, Xie Yan runs into Liu Yi, addicted to his elixirs. His hands are stained with blood, his black hair hangs loose, his skin is deathly pale, his lips thin, and shadows darken the area beneath his eyes. He glares at her with blood-red eyes like a crazed, vengeful ghost, ready to claim her life.
Beautiful women are reduced to bones to pave the way, and blood waters the plants. Even the flowers in the Eastern Palace are a frightening shade of red.
That night, Xie Yan sees another Liu Yi with her own eyes. The shadows beneath his eyes are gone. He sits upright, his looks peerless, his bearing as clear and bright as moonlight.
The bloodstains from the day have been washed away without a trace, as if he were an entirely different person.
Between the dim candlelight and the window lattice, she sees an unbelievably gentle smile in his phoenix eyes.
He asks, "Do you know why you were made Crown Princess even though you already had a marriage arrangement?"
Xie Yan's beautiful face turns deathly pale.
This Liu Yi is every inch a proper gentleman, with no hint of a cruel heart.
"He wanted you as his wife. And now, I want you even more."
Liu Yi smiles brightly and cheerfully with his sickly face. "Xie Yan, now that you've entered the Eastern Palace, I won't let you leave, not even in death."
But Xie Yan doesn't want to die yet.
Thinking of all the absurdity in the Eastern Palace, her beautiful, luminous eyes gleam with resolve. Never before has she been so certain.
The Crown Prince must not only avoid being deposed, he must stay alive and well!
Xie Yan does everything she can to protect Liu Yi, who is on the brink of being deposed. She will devote herself to treating him well, even if he is a madman.
Once Liu Yi ascends the throne and she becomes Empress, she will ask for permission to build a small Buddhist shrine, then wash her hands of everyone and everything.

Crown Prince Liu Yi is ill and relies on alchemy to keep himself alive. By day, he is bloodthirsty and cruel. Only at night does he seem like a normal person.
One day, his eyes red, he draws his saber and loses control like a madman. But a slender, soft hand reaches out, and Xie Yan presses down on his blade.
Liu Yi has found his medicine in the Eastern Palace.
But later, she says she has only one wish: she wants to leave.
"Xie Yan, how can you leave? If you go, who else will take care of me?"
Unable to hold back, Liu Yi's eyes redden, and he draws his saber again.
#In this man-eating purgatory, in this frenzy of madness, only you can save me.#
