The Spoiled Pearl

Shen Mingzhu and Lu Jingli fell in love when they were young, and he promised they would spend their lives together as the only ones for each other. During the years they were apart, Shen Mingzhu dreamed one quiet night of the future: her elder sister would die in the imperial palace, and the entire Shen family would be wiped out by her childhood sweetheart, the emperor, for the sake of a woman.

Shen Mingzhu sat awake all night, then decided to enter the palace in her sister’s place. She wanted to see what kind of woman could make Lu Jingli risk a mutiny in his army just to destroy the Shen family.

But after entering the inner palace, Shen Mingzhu discovered that nothing was as simple as she had imagined. She also stumbled upon the tangled grudges of a previous generation.
