The Enchanting Ming Palace: Portrait of a Beauty

The Buddha says of past lives: If we owed each other nothing, how could we ever have met? . One night of blood and fire, and that young eunuch cruelly slaughtered her entire family! In the blazing flames, she saw his beautiful yet ruthless eyes. She swore: a debt of blood must be repaid in blood! Her mother gave her life to help her escape, but she still fell into his clutches. He lured her into a trap with one scheme after another. Forced to endure and survive, she disguised herself as a man, but he still took everything from her… . Gradually, she discovered that his identity was shrouded in a huge mystery: He wielded power over all under heaven, yet every step he took was like walking on thin ice; The emperor and his favorite consort trusted and favored him, yet kept a close watch on him at all times. . And his feelings for her slowly began to change. He was ruthless to her, yet would never let anyone else hurt her; He said he would never give her a chance to take revenge, yet led her step by step into the glittering imperial court and helped her rise through the ranks; He repeatedly claimed to hate her, yet time and again forced her to pretend to be his “wife”… Forced to follow in his footsteps and chase after him, she gradually grew stronger. . She fought the Mongols, subdued the Jurchens, drove off Japanese pirates, and forged ties with Korea… She followed him to one glorious victory after another. She would wait until her Portrait of Beauties was complete, and then take her revenge! . Huzi: “With my sword and steed, I swear to keep you safe all your life.” Zhibi: “I command the court. With me here, no one will dare hurt you.” Imperial Grandson Murong: “Riding across the grasslands with me was your dream for this life.” She smiles brightly. “You’re all figures in my Portrait of Beauties. I drew each of your fates and futures myself. Since when do you get to make plans for me?” The new emperor clenches his fist. “When I grow up, I’ll make you my empress!” She smiles and lets it pass. “Only if Your Majesty swears to have one wife and one wife only.” . With the realm at peace, she leaves. On the turbid waters of the mortal world, a little boat follows her. She looks back and smiles. “I knew you’d come.”
