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?”

When the crown prince of the dynasty plotted to usurp the throne, it snowed heavily on his execution day.
The Li family, which held all the power in the country, got dragged in, and the whole family was exiled to the completely barren Mingyue Tower.
The Li clan cried loudly and cursed the relatives of the deposed crown prince who were accompanying them.
Only Li Zhi remained silent.
The road to exile was miserable.
Li Zhi saved food every day and secretly gave it to the orphan son of the deposed crown prince who was getting seriously ill.
The young man was as pure and noble as the rumors said, gentle and polite, just like his father.
One day, Li Zhi dropped a personal belonging and returned.
The cold moon was bright and the ground was clear with frost. The handsome young man with a bright complexion was observing some wild dogs fighting with an expressionless face.
Between the dog’s teeth biting, was the steamed buns that she had just given him.

A battle at Mingyue Tower shocked the whole world and let the world clearly see that the benevolent crown prince’s blood was still alive in this world.
A few years later, the emperor rehabilitated the crown prince and decreed his grandson to succeed him.
Noble families were eyeing the empress’ throne, and a letter asking about the empress’ title was handed over, but there was no response.
The people below were fighting to death, but the new emperor was leaning on the railing, tasting lychees.

On the night of the emperor’s wedding, a cold hand touched Li Zhi’s cheek.
The new emperor whispered softly in her ear:
“Take me to heaven, or go to hell with me.”
