Synopsis: [Historical palace intrigue in an imaginary setting + not both chaste + not the emperor’s only favorite + affection gradually deepens]
In the first year of Zha He, Bai Lingzhao, the legitimate second daughter of a high-ranking military official, enters the palace at the arrangement of her elder sister, Bai Lingzi.
New to the palace, Lingzhao has no desire to compete for favor and only wants a peaceful life. It is only after a close friend is framed that she understands an emperor’s favor is as fleeting as a cloud, and that true power lies in one’s own hands.
From the time Xiao Yi watches her warily and suspects her, to the day he finally lowers his guard, and until Emperor Zha He can no longer live without her, Bai Lingzhao spends a lifetime.
When he first hears Lingzhao’s name, he says, “The chosen beauty Bai Lingzhao has offended the name of the current era.”
At the end, lying in her arms, he says, “The decision I am proudest of in this life was choosing the era name Zha He. May Lingzhao and I live in peace, year after year.”
Lots of typos
Em… How can I put it this way? I just don't understand why the heroine wants to be so nice to Concubine Ming? I prefer a heroine who is dedicated to her career and gets everything she wants. On the surface, she has a good relationship with everyone. In fact, she only cares about her own interests.
