Synopsis
Princess Feng Li, falsely accused of murdering her own father, was banished to the wastelands. Seven years later, she returns to Mo City under the fearsome title of the Demon Sovereign. At the extravagant Sparrow Tower banquet orchestrated by her aunt Meng Wu, Feng Li selects Yun Zhan, the enigmatic orphan of the fallen state of Dongli, whose true identity remains a mystery.
What appears to be a decadent slave-selection spectacle is, in truth, Feng Li’s brutal purge of rival powers. Advancing step by step under the guise of a Sparrow Slave, Yun Zhan draws ever closer—both as an assassination target and as a reunion with a long-lost past. The two were once childhood companions who depended on each other to survive in the wastelands.
Adopting a mad and ruthless persona, Feng Li secretly investigates the truth behind her father’s death. Yun Zhan feigns submission while plotting revenge and the restoration of his homeland, yet amid the false tenderness and whispered intimacy, he finds himself hopelessly entangled in love.
When Feng Li recognizes the familiar brand at Yun Zhan’s waist and realizes who he truly is, and when Yun Zhan witnesses her smiling as she drinks poison while coughing up blood, all disguises shatter.
Aunt Meng Wu’s puppet conspiracy, the Western Qi young lord’s political marriage gambit, and the blazing vengeance of Dongli’s remaining loyalists all erupt on the day of the Demon Queen’s grand wedding.
In the end, Feng Li shatters every scheme with the Tiger Tally in hand, while Yun Zhan abandons his dream of national restoration for her sake. Two souls who clawed their way out of hell finally embrace upon a blood-stained throne.
