The Phoenix Hidden in the Eastern Palace

She is a princess of the Northern Kingdom, headstrong, innocent, and guileless. Song Nian'an is a modern lawyer, calm and collected, with a calculating mind.

By a twist of fate, they end up sharing one body deep within the imperial palace.

Her childhood sweetheart is gentle and considerate, while her scheming emperor is fiercely aggressive.

"Nian'er, I'll take you far away. We'll never be apart, for the rest of our lives." The elegant young noble makes his promise.

The modern Song Nian'an scoffs. "Where would we go? With a body like yours, could you handle a rough journey?"

"Song Nian'an, in life you belong to me, and in death you'll be my ghost! If anyone dares claim you, I'll grind his bones to dust." The devoted emperor's declarations of love are always blunt and brutal.

Song Nian'an remains unyielding. "Do whatever you want. It's not someone I care about that you'll be killing, anyway."
