The Tale of Consort Nian in the Qing Palace: Complete Edition

In the forty-eighth year of the Kangxi reign, fifteen-year-old Nian Xinyao was ordered by the Kangxi Emperor to marry into the Fourth Beile's household as a secondary consort to his fourth son, Yinzhen.

Later, when Nian Xinyao learned the truth, she discovered that she and the Nian family had a blood feud, and decided to take revenge. She began working hard to attract Yinzhen's attention, intending to use his power to achieve her goal...
