    Summary

    In the Great Xia Dynasty, no one speaks of how inseparable the imperial twins once were.
    Before the throne, before court politics, before the ministers began watching them with wary eyes, Xia Yizhou and his twin sister shared everything — their studies, their chambers, their secrets, and the quiet certainty that neither could exist without the other.
    But when the Emperor dies, Xia Yizhou ascends the Dragon Throne alone.
    Now the palace tears them apart with silk curtains and locked gates. Officials demand an empress. The court demands an heir. His sister is forbidden from his side, treated less like a princess and more like a stain upon the dynasty.
    Yet the new Emperor refuses to let her go.
    As rumors spread through the Inner Palace and the empire begins to fear the devotion between the Son of Heaven and his twin, the line between love and ruin slowly disappears.
    Some tragedies begin with war.
    This one began with two lotuses born from the same root.
