Oath of Love

The former Empress Shen Yueming was poisoned and reincarnated as Su Qingyue, the illegitimate daughter of the prime minister, and becomes the consort of her adopted son, Emperor Xie Jin. Xie Jin, deeply obsessed with his 'mother', spent three years summoning her soul with blood rituals, finally bringing her back, unaware she now resides in Su Qingyue's body. Su Qingyue seeks to escape but finds herself falling for Xie Jin amidst their entanglement. Due to childhood trauma, Xie Jin only feels warmth towards his 'mother' and, to keep her by his side, forms a blood oath, binding their fates together. Su Qingyue, to save her brother Shen Yunkai, repeatedly schemes against Xie Jin, even helping her half-sister Su Qingxue pretend to be 'possessed by the Empress'. Eventually, her true identity is uncovered by Xie Jin. The palace is fraught with danger, and the truth behind her previous death reveals a conspiracy by the prime minister. Shen Yunkai leads a rebellion, clashing swords with Xie Jin. Su Qingyue chooses to stand by Xie Jin, preventing bloodshed and exposing the truth of the poisoning. To grant her freedom, Xie Jin abdicates the throne, declaring himself the retired emperor. The two leave the palace behind, living out their days together in peace among the people.
