Blade by the Pillow: Setting Fire to Oneself

For the first time, Chen Tianxiang and Wang Xiaoyi team up. Jiang Wu, raised in a brothel and versed in all walks of life, suddenly faces a massive upheaval. Her childhood sister, who was like family, turns out to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion. To erase her humble origins, they conspire with the Prime Minister to wipe out the entire brothel. Jiang Wu kills her sister, takes her identity, and enters the palace. Seeking revenge against the Prime Minister, who holds immense power, she tirelessly approaches the frivolous Emperor Xiao Linyuan, aiming to turn him into her weapon of vengeance. He tests her, she pretends, and amidst false affection, they seem like honey and oil. Until Jiang Wu glimpses the other, unfathomable side of Xiao Linyuan, she realizes she is actually setting fire to herself.
