الخلفية: In the Ming Dynasty closer to the Qing Dynasty, a girl named Ruolan was born in the Xian clan, a clan of silver-haired people with blue eyes, red eyes, dark magenta eyes, dark forest green eyes, etc, to a prostitute in the red-light-district named Huiying and an unknown man. Her mother Huiying was a member of the Xian clan, but was not considered a legitimate member of the family because she was the daughter of a low-born female servant named Shuchun, making her an illegitimate child just like Ruolan herself. Since she wasn't on the name register, she was able to dye her hair and slip into town. She also dyed Ruolan's hair black to ensure her safety. This was because the former Emperor has already orchestrated the massacre to start in August since it's March now. When Ruolan was 4, she lived a peaceful life. Meanwhile, a 10-year-old boy named Zhiyuan who was made the crown prince when the son of the then-Empress (now Empress Dowager) died at a very young age. This was also partly because he had no powerful relatives who could interfere and butt in. He would often visit his mother Consort Shuyi in the inner palace, as she was prone to falling into depression from the Empress' constant harassment. His father was weak and hated fighting, so he didn't protect his mother and abandoned her. One day, his mother told him not to visit her so frequently anymore. Angered, he told her that he would no longer visit her. Later, he learned from his tutor, Muchen that his mother never fought back against the Empress and told him not to visit anymore because she didn't want harm to befall him. Just when Zhiyuan was about to visit her, he learned that she had died. He was only 10 years old at the time. She was poisoned by the Empress, but the crime was framed on a servant who was executed by beheading, so there was no clear evidence. After her funeral, Zhiyuan was crying in an inner palace garden when he was approached by Lady Peixin, a 17-year-old consort. What happens next?
