Xie Yue, Prince of Huaiyin, was naturally cruel and violent, loved war and killing, and was a tyrant through and through.
An enemy state sent a hostage, but Xie Yue tossed him into Plum Court and ignored him. By chance, Zhen Xizhao once took the place of the Dragon Maiden in a sacrificial ceremony.
At first sight, Xie Yue took a liking to Zhen Xizhao, who was playing the Dragon Maiden. He dragged him back to the palace and forced him to stay by his side as an ornament.
When he was in a good mood, he'd tease him a little. When he wasn't, he'd humiliate him in every way.
Zhen Xizhao was proud by nature. He should have been at an age when he could ride out in fine clothes, but instead he had to massage the tyrant's shoulders and feet night after night. After enduring it for a year for the sake of his country, he finally snapped under Xie Yue's repeated broken promises and took Xie Yue right then and there.
For the first time in his life, Xie Yue got his feet wet by the river and capsized in a ditch. How could he endure such humiliation? He resolved to slice Zhen Xizhao to pieces, one cut at a time. But after he vomited, the imperial physician told him: he was pregnant.
For the sake of the crown prince's healthy development, both physically and mentally, Xie Yue decided to spare Zhen Xizhao for the time being.
He made Zhen Xizhao his Noble Consort and continued to torment him in every way he could.
Until one day, his consort vanished without a trace, carrying their child and fleeing to his family home. He even led a million cavalrymen to storm Xie Yue's gates and force him to kneel and massage his feet.
Zhen Xizhao swore that the cruel, ungrateful tyrant would repay every bit of the suffering he'd put him through over the years.
