Song Jietang learned the secrets of fate: the distant cousin boarding at her home would one day stand above all others, and the person he constantly longed for, his moonlight, was Song Jietang.
Unfortunately, the young lady who would accompany him as he ascended to the throne and wear the empress's robes was someone else. The moonlight's role was to keep doing stupid things, make the empress jealous, and eventually be casually killed off in a joke between the emperor and empress.
In other people's eyes, she should have treated this cousin like a precious treasure and protected him. But Song Jietang couldn't accept it. Why should she be a stepping-stone on someone else's road to love?
So Song Jietang used every trick at her disposal, luring and humiliating him, manipulating the future emperor in the palm of her hand before abandoning him and finding someone else.
The emperor went on to rule the world, command armies, and earn countless achievements, but gained a reputation for debauchery: stealing his subject's wife.
Premise: Everyone has a dream to pursue.
