Li Chu was a maid brought along as part of a bride’s dowry. She had long looked forward to marrying Ru Feng as his legal wife and raising a family with him.
But on the eve of her wedding, the great general Jin Wuwang forcibly claimed her, leaving her no choice but to become his concubine.
A concubine needn’t be beautiful. As long as she knows her place and obeys the principal wife, life need not be too difficult.
The principal wife’s family had given Li Chu a new lease on life. When the principal wife told her to fight the other concubines for favor and bear a son to be adopted into the family, Li Chu did as she was told.
Unexpectedly, after she gave birth, the principal wife accused her of having an affair with Ru Feng and became determined to get rid of her.
The loyalty she had once shown became a cold blade stabbed into her back. After enduring abuse and humiliation, Li Chu began to plan carefully and fight back from the brink of ruin.
The cold-faced great general holds the military power of the Ye Kingdom and is the Emperor’s most trusted man. As a result, his household’s inner quarters are infiltrated by competing factions, where schemes abound and the political waters are treacherous.
Li Chu must tread carefully, terrified of making a wrong move. Yet the cold-faced general uses the excuse of showering her with favor to place her at the center of every conspiracy. Forced into factional strife, Li Chu repeatedly struggles on the brink of death.
A lowly maid, she turns her enemies’ own methods against them. With her keen insight and strategic mind, she grows step by step, until she has every person who wronged her beneath her feet, looking down over the world.
🌸This is a story in which the female protagonist goes from a maid to the male protagonist's concubine to a princess to a saint, then becomes the male protagonist's queen, and finally becomes a generation of empress. Some people may find it unbelievable, but I think everything just goes along with the flow. From the very beginning, the female protagonist humblely flatters the male protagonist for the sake of her younger brother. She is obedient and considerate, but she just wants a way to survive, get pregnant smoothly, and like the person the male protagonist likes. She uses the male protagonist's affection for the second female protagonist to come to the male protagonist and step by step into the position of concubine. It is not only because of her obedience and flattery and the child in her belly, but also because She figured out the subconscious needs of the male protagonist and mastered the sense of her identity. As her experience continued to improve, she understood that it was useless to rely on anyone in this world. Only by herself can she achieve her final goal. This is why she was able to find a way out of these conspiracies and machinations. When she faces danger again and again, is she afraid when the knife is in front of her? Of course she was afraid, but she was able to face her fear head on and face it calmly. Perhaps, she was not wise enough in troubled times, and therefore she believed that others were in danger many times, but she was still able to calmly analyze the current situation and make decisions that were beneficial to herself. The heroine does not have a God's perspective. At first, she relied on her own desire to survive and the desire to protect her younger brother and even her children. Later, when she gained power, she developed the ambition to dominate the world. She mediated between various forces in many countries. She was able to analyze the pros and cons and eradicate the roots when she should be ruthless. This is what I appreciate most. I believe that everyone and everything that appears in life are meant to teach us something. It just depends on whether we can seize the opportunity, think in time, reflect on ourselves, and pursue progress. 🌸 ✨The early content of this article attracted me even more. I saw the sweet-tongued and cruel side of the heroine, but the measured side of Cha, who can understand and obey human nature. The plot in the later part of the article is slightly fantasy, but it also has many climaxes. Baozizi who is interested can follow it~ Maybe you will have different thoughts~🤔🤔
It's good-looking. I especially like the protagonist who has no golden fingers and survives through cracks. The writing is also good.
It's good to watch, and the story is exciting and interesting. I like this kind of heroine who is tough-minded and doesn't lose herself easily. I look forward to her getting stronger and stronger.
The house is deep, who doesn't want to live in an ignoble way! Very well written, five stars!
Nice. The novel reflects Li Chu's love and hatred: the lives of powerless people are like insignificant things, women are objects, and the advantages of a good family background are not greater than male dominance. It is a true reflection of the imperial society, not a time travel novel.
I hope the heroine will wake up soon
It's a super good-looking drama about a palace fight between a housewife. The plot is ups and downs and exciting. The characters are drawn to the core. The plot is tight and tense and you won't be able to put it down.
I continue to read, the writing is good
No time travel, no rebirth, it's really good to watch, I recommend it to everyone
Blindly guessing at the development of the plot, will the heroine become the queen in the end? 🤔 The first and second male characters are both stepping stones.
