Synopsis

[Transmigrate into a book + palace intrigue + no exclusive favor + fake stand-in + clear-eyed heroine]

Content warnings: The heroine is not a virgin. No System and no golden finger.

Note: Set in a fictional dynasty.

Jiang Qingchi wakes up one day and discovers she has become the heroine of a novel she only read one page of.

After living cautiously for eight years, she finally gets her life in the palace on track.

In the palace, she is the perfect stand-in for the late empress.

As the late empress’s younger sister and the general’s legitimate youngest daughter, she is thrust into the eye of the storm.

She carefully navigates her relationship with the emperor, who loves his empire but not beautiful women;

she plots and schemes with the noble consorts;

and she carries on a secret affair with Lord Ning, her childhood sweetheart.

In a palace rife with danger, everyone else exhausts themselves trying to win favor, while she focuses on climbing to the top.

“If you can grow wings of your own, why look up to someone else’s ladder?”
