A story of two broken souls navigating a world of madness.

Snow fell heavily on the day of execution of the Crown Prince who plotted rebellion against the dynasty. The powerful Li clan accused of being involved was exiled to the desolate Mingyue Tower. While the Li clan wept bitterly and hurled curses at the deposed Crown Prince’s family, Li Zhi remained silent.

The road to exile was fraught with suffering. Li Zhi rationed her food daily, secretly offering it to the sickly orphan of the deposed Crown Prince. The young man, as virtuous and noble as the rumors said, carried the temperament of his father—gentle and respectful.

One day, after retrieving a misplaced belonging, Li Zhi stumbled upon the boy under the cold moonlight, his demeanor serene yet distant, watching stray dogs fight over the very steamed bun she had just given him.

Years later, a bloody rebellion at Mingyue Tower shocked the world. The last heir of the Crown Prince, who they once thought was dead, came into the limelight.

The Emperor posthumously cleared the Crown Prince’s name and decreed his grandson as heir to the throne. While the great families vied for the position of Empress, petitions for the marriage piled up without a response. Amid the chaos, the new Emperor savored lychees by his balcony.

*****

On the night of their imperial wedding, a cold hand caressed Li Zhi’s cheek. The Emperor whispered gently in her ear:

“Will you take me to paradise, or join me in the depths of hell?”

It started well but I along the way the author lost me.

My major problem are the leads. The ML is an unlikeable character, he doesn't grow as a character in the slightest during the novel, on the contrary he regresses to become a man only obsessed with the MC. We learn that he is the cause of the MC's sufferings, although not strictly intentional, but he doesn't care nor understands why she is so upset after finding it out, he just wants her to keep loving him and stay by... more>> his side.

The MC is a strong, determined young woman who supposedly plans all the right steps for her revenge but most of the times I just thought she was lucky. I don't understand why she chooses to play the part of a love-struck fool with the ML, throwing cheesy lines at him, like "only by looking at you, I feel joy" or "I just want to spend the rest of the life by your side". She wants to rely on his power to get her revenge, but she could have toned down with the over-the-top admiration. <<less
