Every emperor of the Tuoba family lost his mother at birth and was raised by a wet nurse. Feng Ping entered the palace as a child, where she caught the eye of Chang, the wet nurse to the imperial grandson. She was brought to Tuoba Rui’s side and became his empress. Born into a family of criminals and without a powerful family to rely on, she was destined for a difficult road. Tuoba Rui is mischievous and unpredictable. Beneath his laughter and rage, how much is sincere, and how much is an act?
