share time: 2025-11-25 00:31:46

In the chaotic era of Northern Yan, Shen Zhao, the General of Northern Defense with 300,000 troops, suddenly proclaims himself emperor, shocking the court. His childhood sweetheart, Ye Zhaoning, the former princess, confronts him with poison in her sleeve: "You said we need strength and military power to survive chaos—but is this why you seized the throne?" Shen Zhao stares at the faint outline of the poison in her sleeve, then pulls out a silk handkerchief—on it are Ye Zhaoning's tear-stained words from years ago, when they were chased by rebels: "If you ever hold the power of the world, don't let me be bullied again." His usurpation was never for ambition; it was to give her a home where she no longer had to hide. But now, the poison in Ye Zhaoning's hand is slipping closer—she doesn't know that the "traitor" she wants to kill is the one who wants to protect her most. When truth and murder are just a breath apart, will their bond lead to redemption or destruction?
