She was greedy and sly. She saved countless lives.
She was afraid of death. She stood tall between heaven and earth.
She stood between heaven and earth with a clear conscience.
[Setting: a small court of a vassal state]
[The female lead is afraid of death, greedy, lecherous, and amoral. The male lead is a treacherous schemer who usurps power, a deranged feudal tyrant. A dark dragon and wicked phoenix pairing.]
[In the early and middle parts, the female lead disguises herself as a man and fake-marries a lady.]
[After being rejected when he tries to become the third party out of love, the male lead resorts to underhanded tactics. He has no morals, no limits, and no principles, and shamelessly uses every means of coercion and enticement to steal someone else's husband.]
[The only reason the two end up together is that the male lead has no shame.]
[The male lead is not right in the head! The male lead is not right in the head! The male lead is not right in the head!]
