Strong leads + revenge + angsty romance

Shang Yan first met Yu Xuan in the empress's Kunqian Palace.

As beautiful as ever, he was unforgettable at first sight.

So Shang Yan secretly took an interest in him and quietly transferred him to his side.

But Yu Xuan was no gentle beauty. He was a weapon, sharp as blades and spears.

Yu Xuan seized the opportunity to interfere in court affairs openly and decisively, claiming he was purging the emperor's inner circle for the good of the ruler, when in truth he had his own motives.

In the sixteenth year of Yong'an, Yu Xuan took over from Xiao Yongling as Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Forces, shocking the entire nation.

Everyone said, “With a eunuch in power, the country is doomed.”

Shang Yan knew Yu Xuan was ambitious, so he schemed to strip him of his military command and throw him in prison.

He wanted Yu Xuan to understand that no matter how high he soared in court, he was still a caged bird, and Shang Yan could break his wings at any time.

But he didn't know that Yu Xuan was a ruthless schemer who planned to take his place.

One day, Yu Xuan led his army into the capital and held a long sword to Shang Yan's neck. Only then did Shang Yan realize Yu Xuan was not a dog he had raised at his side, but a lone wolf that had been lying in wait in the palace for years, enduring every humiliation so he could one day take revenge.
