As Liu Ying Yue returns to her family home after many years, her step-mother secretly agrees to a political marriage with the emperor of the Shadow Realm. Expecting Ying Yue to suffer under the emperor's control with the only purpose of existing for his benefit, she uses her new position to her advantage--through getting revenge on her step-mother's past crimes and dealing with the enemies against her new role of empress. However, as hidden events from the past rise to the surface, an unexpected question arises along her journey: How much can the truth merge with lies? (Currently undergoing editing)
