Summary
Princess Eryu once loved Xuan Jue, the gentle young scholar who became her prince consort. Years later, he topples her dynasty, kills her brother, and keeps her beside him as he claims the throne. Bound by a marriage poisoned by blood, Eryu turns the palace into a battlefield of memory, revenge, and unbearable tenderness. Yet the truth behind the fall of Xuan Jue’s family reveals that neither of them entered this war innocent. As old affection collides with imperial vengeance, two people who know each other too well must decide whether love can survive a debt that only death may settle.
