Seizing the Palace with Bare Hands

Ten years later, he finally sat upon the imperial throne he had long dreamed of, but in doing so, he lost what he had once been. Everyone turned against him.

His mother was murdered, his brothers grew estranged, and his friends became enemies. Everyone who should have stood by him had instead gone to that woman's side!

He stripped her of her power and imprisoned her. After all he'd put her through, leaving her broken and battered, why would she ever want to look at him again?

After ten years by his side, she saw her father and brothers die on the battlefield, while she herself was trapped in the imperial harem. She would not accept this!

The emperor and empress scheme, with the realm as their wager. Dragon clashes with phoenix, and the world is turned upside down! Watch her seize the palace with her own hands and turn the heavens and earth around!

A ruthless emperor, lonely all his life; a legendary empress who kills her sovereign without mercy; a merciless, lame chancellor; a princess sent to forge a marriage alliance who stirs up the imperial harem; a clever princess consort with both beauty and brains; a carefree prince who only wants to stay out of courtly strife; and a pitiful emperor who gives up the throne for love...

Clashing spears and iron horses, a realm stretching for thousands of miles!

If you want it, take it. I have never cared about anything. The only thing I have ever cared about is you!

He Yu: I love her, but I have to protect another woman, because I want someone to care about me.

Qin Yufeng: He hurt me and betrayed me, so I'll turn against him and kill him. He made my heart turn to ashes, so I'll make sure he never finds peace!
