Zhu Xiuyin had two names, two identities, and two bodies living in different years. She kept company with two princes of different ages.
The first was only a teenager, and said to her pitifully, "A Yin, stay with me in the Cold Palace for the rest of our lives."
The second was past thirty, decisive and ruthless. He told her, "I will become the ruler who stands at the very top."
Every day, she lived in two different eras, keeping company with two princes whose temperaments could not have been more different.
Her reason for faking her death was simple.
The Crown Prince had said he had fallen in love with her and wanted to marry her.
Zhu Xiuyin was not human. She was only a wooden box with a soul, taken out and placed inside a body made of wood.
So, on the day the prince discovered that she was different from other women, she set fire to the version of herself who had kept the young prince company.
