The Concubine Daughter Rises to Power: Who Says I’m Not Favored?

[Scheming, bratty heroine x dark, pretend-foolish hero] (Feel-good, no angst + fictional palace intrigue, don’t overthink it)

The new emperor ascends the throne, and the royal family holds a selection. The legitimate daughter and a concubine-born daughter of the Shen Governor’s residence are both chosen.

Before she enters the palace, the Shen family matriarch warns Shen Xiyue that she has agreed to let her enter the palace so she can serve as a stepping stone for her legitimate daughter, Shen Xingluan, on her way to that supreme throne.

But once you enter the palace, it’s as deep as the sea. How could anyone in the residence still control what happens inside?

Shen Xiyue is eager to find out who will be whose stepping stone.

After taking down her legitimate elder sister, another woman who has transmigrated appears.

A woman who has transmigrated into a book, a woman with a System, and a reborn consort appear one after another.

Having had enough of hardship, Shen Xiyue is determined to fight to the end, claim that supreme empress’s throne, and never be bullied by anyone again.

Pei Junze says: “Women who aren’t a little wicked don’t appeal to men. I just love how scheming Shen Xiyue is when she competes for favor.”

[Warning: The hero is not a virgin, so proceed with caution if you want both leads to be sexually inexperienced. The hero is involved with other women early on, but later he’ll dote exclusively on the heroine!!!]
