Description
She deceived the world, posing as a naive noblewoman entering the palace as the preordained crown princess consort. Enchanted by the gentle, tender prince, she believed fate had granted her a perfect match.
Yet like a butterfly fluttering into a spider’s web, she unknowingly stepped into a grander scheme. Her arrival rippled through the court, unveiling the blood-drenched truth of a long-buried coup. Was this orchestrated malice — or the cruel jest of destiny?
Behind the empress’s reclusive defiance and her throne of supremacy — was it divine blessing or a cursed existence?
Beneath the crown prince’s compassionate, saintly mask — what ruthless, merciless mind lay hidden?
As dynasties shift and court alliances churn, she rises and falls in the harem’s cutthroat games. Each seeming twist of fortune only drags her deeper into fate’s icy grip. To heal the wounds before her, must she cut out her own heart? In this chase for power, are love and hatred merely pawns on the board?
