Reborn after transmigrating into a celebrated courtesan, she becomes entangled in love and hate with three very different men!
Celebrated courtesan × ruthless prince × gentle emperor × lovesick assassin
A modern office worker unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Mei Wuhua, a celebrated courtesan at the Zui Xian Pavilion in the capital, with no control over her own fate. Clear-minded and proud, all she wants is to survive safely amid the chaos of the times. Instead, she steps straight into the most perilous political game of the imperial family.
He is the late emperor's legitimate son, resentful over having his throne stolen. Turned against his own uncle by malicious schemers, he treats him as an enemy. He uses her as a pawn, sending her into the palace to beguile the emperor, but as he manipulates her, he falls into a mad obsession. He is so possessive that he wants both the empire and her by his side for all eternity, even if he has to bind her with hatred and stain his hands with blood.
He is the emperor, who took on the burden of ruling in a crisis to protect the realm and endured ten years of hardship to protect his nephew. Gentle as jade and devoted to the people, he nevertheless falls in love after meeting her. He is willing to give up his throne and hand over his empire, asking only for a chance to be with her and a peaceful life together.
He has no family or friends, no heart and no feelings. After an assassination attempt fails and she saves him, he entrusts her with his frozen heart. He knows nothing of love, only that he must keep her safe. Willing to suffer humiliation, he enters the palace after being castrated and silently stays by her side, repaying her with his life. In the end, he stains the earth with his blood and dies without a word.
One transmigration, three consuming romances, a vast mortal world, and hearts riddled with wounds.
She once hated his cruelty and coldness, once treasured his tenderness and deep affection, and once pitied his loneliness. But after her family is killed, her protectors are broken, and her sincere feelings are trampled, she finally understands: the palace's crimson walls and the power over the empire are a fate she cannot escape.
The empire as a chessboard, a beauty as the wager. Love and hate burn away, leaving only ashes.
She came from the dust, asking only for a peaceful life, yet in the end she is trapped by political intrigue and buried by deep love.
Where can she go, and how can she find a happy ending?
