Revenge

On the Lantern Festival night of the third year of Tianshou, the Crown Prince is assassinated during a state ritual, his body never recovered. The event becomes known as the “Assassination of Tang.”

In the chaos that follows, aristocratic clans rebel and install Prince Song Lan as a puppet emperor. To uncover the truth and protect the Crown Prince’s younger brother, Su Luowei—the Crown Prince’s childhood sweetheart—marries Song Lan and helps him secure power.

But she eventually discovers the devastating truth: Song Lan was the mastermind behind the assassination, and she has unknowingly aided her lover’s murderer. Determined to avenge the Crown Prince, she sets her sights on Ye Tingyan, Song Lan’s most trusted minister.

What she doesn’t know is that Ye Tingyan is the Crown Prince—alive, disguised, and back in court to destroy those who betrayed him.

He never expected Su Luowei, now Empress, to approach him first… nor to whisper against his shoulder: “Lord Ye, if you want to know what I seek—kill Song Lan, and avenge my Crown Prince.”
