A palace coup stained the stone steps with blood. Countless people were killed or wounded within the imperial city. The emperor and empress died, and the young crown prince vanished. Treacherous officials pushed to have Prince Li take the throne.
At the coronation, Princess Wei Zihuan, dressed in court robes and holding the imperial edict, overruled all objections, helped the crown prince ascend the throne, purged the court, and governed from behind the curtain.
After a great victory at the border, the young general Zhou Zeshang returned to the capital, bringing back a pregnant woman. More importantly, Wei Zihuan and Zhou Zeshang had been promised to each other before birth, and they had been deeply in love since they were young.
Could even the dazzling Wei Zihuan not escape the fate of a woman betrayed by the man she loves? What was the truth behind the palace coup that struck fear into everyone who heard of it? What will happen amid the court's treacherous intrigues?
