Fang Qin is the only daughter born to the Marquis of Zhenping in his old age, and an orphan who lost both parents as a child.
She is blessed with snow-white skin, a flower-like face, and a kind, gentle nature. As a result, the noble young ladies of the capital are all very close to her.
After her parents die young, Empress Dowager Si raises her in the imperial palace. When Fang Qin comes of age, she is betrothed to a young master of the Si family, her foster grandmother's own family and another illustrious house. They are a match of talent and beauty, and their marriage is the envy of all.
After a long-planned "accident" takes place at a separate palace, Fang Qin wakes from being drugged with incense and finds herself in a dimly lit underground chamber.
Imperial edicts searching for the missing Fang Qin are posted all over the capital. With her reputation in ruins, she assumes that after breaking off her engagement to the Si family's young master, the man she loves and who loves her in return, she will spend the rest of her life with her hair shorn, accompanied only by the Buddha and a lamp.
But she does not know that from this point on, she will fall into a trap and prison from which it is difficult to escape.
The cold, ruthless emperor, rumored to be utterly cruel and merciless, keeps her hidden away in a gilded cage, taking her by force.
No matter how much Fang Qin struggles, she can only sink deeper into the whirlpool of desire.
Tips: Age gap / older man / taking her by force / unscrupulous, obsessive, and vicious male lead / melodrama.
Theme: Live well even in the midst of hardship.
