Born to a lowly station and disliked by the emperor and empress, Chu Mu had endured contempt from the moment he was old enough to remember.
Driven from the palace, escaping from a mass grave, going hungry and cold, living under someone else's roof: he suffered every torment under heaven like a stray dog.
Fortunately, Heaven had not forsaken him. In his youth, he met a pampered noblewoman who adored him: Li Huan, daughter of the empire's top-ranked Protector-General.
Li Huan was beautiful and devoted. For decades, she never wavered in her determination to marry him.
He was happy to return her affections. With the power of Li Huan's maternal family, he fought his way back into the palace, climbed step by step to the position of crown prince, and ultimately ascended the throne as emperor.
Now that he had reached the top, naturally, the Li clan could not be allowed to remain...
On the day he issued the decree to slaughter the entire Li clan, his little empress, Li Huan, ran to him with her skirts in hand. She begged him on her knees, but to no avail, and nearly died before his eyes.
When the sword pierced the little empress's chest and her blood splashed across his face, only then did he understand how much he cared for this frail girl, whose eyes had always been fixed on him.
But that day, he failed to recall the imperial edict ordering the slaughter of the little empress's entire family.
Just as, in the years that followed, no matter how much he did for her, cutting flesh from his body to make her medicine, taking blood from his heart, and turning the court upside down... he could never win back even a fraction of the little empress's love for him.

Theme: Good and evil each receive their due.
The male protagonist really has no heart and always feels that as long as there is someone alive in the female protagonist's family, the female protagonist will forgive him. No wonder the heroine keeps calling him a monster
This man is really a scumbag among the best. He's so awesome. You can't call him a scumbag when you see him.
It's so funny, I'm afraid this sister will follow in the footsteps of the heroine in the future. Doggy men always like to take advantage of girls.
I don't understand how the two of them are going to be together in the end 🤔, either you die or I live 💔
(Taking it out) Is it gone?
Will such a bastard regret it?
This crematorium is great! This ancient breakfast tastes great! So cool!
"I really hate him" [covering face, laughing and crying] Brother, are you sick? A whole family that kills people can still be sweet to you without hating you, don't you think it's weird? When you wake up in the middle of the night, you have to touch the thing on your neck. Is it still there? 💔 But this eldest brother is an iron orphan, so he probably doesn't know how it feels to lose his parents [covering face, laughing and crying]
I am a super white-eyed wolf phoenix male emperor 💔 The most annoying thing about this kind of emperor who takes advantage of the power of the female host's family to rise to power and finally thinks that the family is too powerful to confiscate the family and exterminate the family. Is it necessary to be so cruel? What is the benefit to the emperor's reputation? [Resolved] Generally speaking, as long as the male family members who are officials in the court are jailed or exiled, the family will not be able to rise. Except for treason or collaborating with the enemy, it is unlikely that he would casually confiscate his family and exterminate his family. 💔 And he was so eager to stab him in the back just after he ascended the throne. What would the people and ministers think of this emperor? Isn't he just a tyrant [covering his face and laughing] Even an emperor who wants to have a face cannot do such an operation [covering his face and crying] And I feel that the author has ignored a lot of things. The important point is that as a family that has the ability to support an unfavored prince to ascend to power, it must be a powerful family with disciples all over the world. 💔 If such a family falls, many party members will definitely lose their interests. How can it be possible for the emperor to kill whoever he wants? Interest groups are never disbanded after killing the leader. What's more, the heroine's family still has military power, and they have been forced to this point. Why don't they just imitate Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe and stand up to seize power? 💔 This doesn't even mean how the heroine's father is in charge of the army. How can a general who has gone to the battlefield and killed people really sit at home and wait to be killed 💔 ] I don't understand how such a powerful family like Dong Zhuo was eliminated like cabbage. Logically speaking, a prince like the emperor who was hated by the late emperor could not develop his own power before he ascended the throne. He may not even have much money. There is no other way except relying on his father-in-law. And if it is a house raid, then there must be a leader. In this case, the leader and the soldiers under his command are probably controlled by the hostess. Who can listen to you as a polished commander [covering face and laughing] The author writes this emperor as a highly centralized emperor. It is too illogical. He wants to marry a son-in-law with dignity. It is really funny.
No, it's a bit outrageous. How dare a princess say such disrespectful words????
