In an era shadowed by the reign of demons, the elders dispatch Li Susu back through the currents of time. Stepping into the life of Ye Xiu, she becomes the wife of Tang Tai Jin—a prince held in captivity and the man destined to become a monstrous tyrant. Armed with the knowledge of his future atrocities, Susu's resolve is iron; she is here to excise the evil before it blooms. Yet, as she navigates the claustrophobic reality of his existence, the cold mask of the prince begins to crack. She discovers a history forged in agony and betrayal, a narrative far more complex than the chronicles of the future suggested. Now, standing in the presence of the man she is sworn to destroy, the line between monster and victim blurs, and her mission becomes a war within herself.
