Transported from the modern era to a chaotic age, Sophia Song and Lucas Lou rise from commoners to become the founding Empress and Emperor. Seven years later, Lucas returns triumphant but with a woman and child, breaking his vows. As Sophia goes into labor, his indifference leads to the death of a loyal servant and a perilous childbirth. In despair, Sophia summons a reclusive sage, rallies the people's support, and gradually undermines the dynasty. When love becomes a sacrifice to power, she resolves to reclaim everything once taken from her—including the empire they could have shared.
