[Palace Intrigue] [Household Intrigue] [No Love-Brained Characters] [No Cliched, Over-the-Top Plot] [Not Both Pure]
Xiao Huai, daughter of a disgraced official, is sent to the prince's manor to serve as a bedchamber maid.
Her maternal family's mistress thinks she is nothing but a reserved airhead with a pretty face.
Her own father never even remembered the names of her and her mother.
Deception. Betrayal.
All of it sets her on a path from which there is no return.
Once, Xiao Huai too believed this man would be her lifelong support.
Repeated suspicions and lies gradually drove them apart.
From now on, I will only trust myself.
Step by step, she shuts her heart to love and climbs to the very pinnacle of power.
The court and the harem will both be in her hands.
Many years later, outside Xiaoshan Temple, a locust blossom quietly falls. Beneath the tree stands an old acquaintance whose figure is impossible to make out.
Not bad, very good
Looks good!
