The Consort Becomes the Emperor’s Favorite After Entering the Palace

[A tsundere emperor who's cold on the outside but warm inside + a scheming white lotus consort]

Newly crowned Best Actress Shen Qiao woke up to find herself inside the palace-intrigue novel she'd read the night before, as a doomed supporting character!

The original ending? A noose of white silk? A skeleton in the cold palace? No thanks, this actress refuses to get written off!

To rewrite her death-bound script, Shen Qiao made up her mind: enter the palace, win the emperor's favor, and become the pampered consort at the heart of the tsundere ruler on the throne!

And so Shen Qiao, armed with “Oscar-worthy” acting skills, made her entrance. In public, she was a gentle, understanding, heartbreakingly lovely white lotus. In private... well, when it was time to strike, she didn't hesitate.

But as she worked hard to sell the “innocent little flower” persona to the emperor, who was cold on the outside but warm inside, and whose actions never matched his grumbling, why did his gaze seem more and more amused?
