A Pet's Greedy Pleasure

She had intended to spend the rest of her days in silence, yet unexpectedly became embroiled in endless conspiracies and struggles. Within the grand scroll of a chaotic era, her brilliant light could not be hidden; palace intrigues, worldly power plays, internal strife, and external threats—the conflict never ceased. Married in another's stead, she suffered humiliation and the devastation of body and soul, caught in a bewildering conspiracy where love turned to hate. Side by side on the battlefield, grievances and gratitude intertwined, and the shackles of revenge unexpectedly transformed into a song of the Phoenix seeking the Phoenix. Married and remarried, her heart grew cold; her scarred face was guiltless, but could she still hold the world in her hand with him? He destroyed her face and broke her heart, only to turn back and embrace her. She owed him a debt and gave him an empire, yet her youth was spent in vain. Once a criminal, now wearing the phoenix crown; old resentments marred a new face. In a chaotic world, red bridal makeup serves as a sacrifice to the mountains and rivers, waiting only for the sovereign's favor to indulge in fleeting pleasure.
