In this world, the most difficult thing to control is feelings. The tyrant Su Ke first met Yun Zhi, a dancing girl from the Jiaofang Department. In the name of conquest, he took her for favor and took pleasure in breaking her pride. He imprisoned her in a deep palace, put a plum blossom mark on her waist, and forced her to have sex every night, but she gradually fell in love with him due to his abnormal possessiveness. She tolerated the love, but was moved by his inadvertent tenderness and his persistence in times of crisis. She struggled and sank in the cage of love and hate, and gradually fell in love. Su Ye mistakenly believed that control was love, and tried to keep Yun Zhi by his side forever by conferring a concubine, giving birth to an heir, and alienating the friendship between master and apprentice. Yun Zhi went from stubborn resistance to numb submission. She also suffered from his neglect and was exhausted both physically and mentally. When the family blood feud was revealed, poison and alcohol broke the soul, and Yun Zhi died under the loquat tree they planted together. After a violent robbery, the two hearts were misaligned and entangled, and Su Shi's belatedly realized sincerity could not withstand the blood feud and time. All that was left was the dead tree and the cold palace, locked up for half his life in a ridiculous way.
