On the night of their wedding, he pierced her right shoulder with a gilt dagger: "Regicide and treason shall be punished!" Jiang Mingwei looked at the brand new jade sachet on his waist and remembered that the three hundred bowls of soup and medicine she had cooked for him were not as good as a drop of blood and tears from his beloved concubine. When she was wrongfully imprisoned, she touched the child in her belly and sneered - she completely lost the game she had set up with her life, but she also won the bargaining chip for rebirth.
The fire in the cold palace burned away the old love, and the edict appeared in the world, hiding murderous intent. The childhood sweethearts of the past are now in love and killing each other in the whirlpool of power; the infant prince has become a fatal chess piece that stirs up the court situation. When poisonous schemes, lies, and betrayals came like a tide, she took off her phoenix crown and held up the blood-stained silver bell: "Gu Zhaoheng, I want you to pay with blood for this game!"
Machiavellianism and love and hate are intertwined, and conspiracy and truth are at stake. Who is behind everything? And what will be the outcome of this sadomasochistic love affair between an emperor and an empress that begins with a heartbeat and ends with heartbreak?
Purpose: The story centers on the mismatch of fate between the male and female protagonists, showing how a wrong judgment can completely rewrite the trajectory of life under the influence of intrigue and conspiracy. Through Gu Chengxiao's mistake of killing his beloved because of his credulity in slander, and later trying to reverse his fate at all costs, it is revealed that although fate is impermanent, human choice and redemption are still meaningful. Even if he is in deep trouble, the pursuit of the truth and the compensation for his mistakes are also a kind of struggle against fate.
