As a transmigrator, she has neither a powerful golden finger nor any remarkable adventures. Her ordinary life seems to prove that she is merely a supporting character.
By contrast, her elder sister seems more like the chosen heroine. She naturally assumes that if she clings to the heroine and keeps a low profile, she can survive to the ending.
But fate is unpredictable.
Since ancient times, beauties have been like heroes: heaven does not let them live to see their hair turn white.
On her fifteenth birthday, when she comes of age, she receives two unusual gifts: a hairpin from her childhood sweetheart as a token of their love, and an imperial edict summoning her to the palace to become a consort.
She chooses the latter, all for the sake of a promise.
The emperor’s promise is a request that she become guardian to his heir.
For twelve years, she rules from behind the curtain, and all is calm.
But in the final year of their agreement, before the young emperor comes of age, a series of upheavals begin.
An old friend returns. Her childhood sweetheart comes back.
The Xianbei invade from the south, and turmoil sweeps through the martial world.
The truth behind her elder sister’s death is about to come to light, while secrets from the previous dynasty gradually emerge...
At the heart of a court rife with political intrigue, what choice should she make?
So well written, so well written
