A crown bound by duty. A betrayal etched in history. King San Si Ting rules with absolute power, but his heart belongs where the court forbids. Under immense pressure from his subjects to produce an heir, he reluctantly agrees to take an Empress. Hearing this, a banished traitor seizes his chance for vengeance and alliance, plotting to send his own daughter into the lion's den. But the daughter refuses to be a pawn. In a desperate bid for freedom, she swaps places with a male substitute, disguising him as the new bride. What begins as a dangerous deception turns into a passionate, forbidden love between the King and his disguised Empress. But when the fires of war tear their kingdom apart, a terrible tragedy leaves the King drowning in guilt and grief. Driven by an unbreakable bond, the universe shatters. Waking up centuries later in the unfamiliar modern world, the King is given one final chance: find his lost love, undo the tragedies of the past, and protect him at all costs.
