Eighteen years after being born into the Liu Dynasty, Fang Yi had lived a life of frustration and despair.
The emperor was mad, and the people suffered for it. The slightest mistake could cost her head.
She wanted to rebel and overthrow this brutal world,
but before she could make a move, she was framed and thrown into prison.
In the death row cells, she awakened a golden finger
a back scratcher.
At first glance it seemed unimpressive, but it carried her all the way to a comeback:
escaping prison, freeing female prisoners, and forming an army of women.
With her golden finger, she gathered talented people one after another, and the rebellion went more smoothly with every step.
People praised her as benevolent and magnanimous, with the bearing of an emperor.
When she awoke from her dream, she knew clearly enough that she didn't possess the bearing of an emperor. She'd merely been blessed by good fortune.
Later, she became a military commander, then a marshal, and was eventually "forced" to ascend the throne.
Liu Changjing could have ruled the world, but a secret within the imperial family reduced him to a pawn cast aside.
Fate had played a cruel trick on him, but he remained as pure as a white lotus, steadfast in his principles.
For the sake of the realm, he dared to risk death by remonstrating with the emperor, only to suffer the brutal punishment of being boiled alive in a cauldron.
Flawless white jade had fallen into the mud,
and his world was plunged into darkness.
She was the one who rescued him from the execution ground.
From then on, she was a flame in his heart,
his weakness and his armor.
