Qi Yuwan was born a jewel amid riches, with a distinguished family and a brilliant future ahead of her.
A crown fit for the Crown Princess had already been prepared for her. Once she came of age, she would enter the Eastern Palace and one day become empress.
But that wasn't the only reason everyone envied her. She also had an older brother, Qi Jinghe. Not only was he exceptionally handsome and gentle, he cherished her above all else.
She once naively thought that her greatest worry in life would be that her brother and the Crown Prince didn't get along.
Until that night, when the whole clan fled in panic.
"Where is Brother?" Qi Yuwan asked, tears in her eyes.
"Don't call him your brother again! He has nothing to do with the Qi family anymore!"
She looked back. The capital was ablaze.
After the palace coup, the dynasty changed hands.
The Qi family had always supported the Crown Prince. If they were captured, the entire clan would be put to death.
Qi Yuwan didn't know what had happened. She only knew that overnight, she had lost the wealth and status she possessed and the future she had once been promised. She had lost her brother and her peace.
The day she was captured, she watched her seemingly helpless brother cross the palace steps, a bloodstained long saber in his hand.
"Wanwan." He wiped away the tear on her cheek. "Don't be afraid. You'll still be empress. The throne has changed hands, but you'll remain safe."
He bent down and kissed the back of her hand, not knowing that she curled her lips into a tiny, triumphant smile.
The fragile, fair beauty he imagined he saw had known his true nature all along.
One pretended to be gentle and composed, while the other played the innocent, naive girl.
The Qi family's favor and glory would endure for generations.
