The Concubine's Daughter Strikes Back, and the Tyrant Is Obsessed with Her Again

As the daughter of a convicted minister, Liu Yao enters the palace as a servant with a clear goal: destroy her enemies, and overthrow the imperial power while she's at it.

A palace struggle from the start on hell mode? This black lotus is determined to carve out a bloody path. She "accidentally" encounters the tyrant in the imperial garden. What she drops is a blood-written letter; what she snares is the emperor's heart.

A plot to frame her with poison? She turns it to her advantage and sends the Noble Consort to the cold palace. A thorny political problem? One strategy settles the matter and leaves the tyrant stunned.

Everyone says the tyrant Chu Junyan is cold-blooded and murderous, but Liu Yao turns him into her sharpest weapon. At first, he sneers, "Woman, you're playing with fire."

Later, eyes red, he pins her against the wall. "Empress, when will you finally share this empire with me?"
