After transmigrating into the body of Xu Jinyu, the neglected legitimate eldest daughter of the Duke of Xu's household, she discovers that the late emperor had named her the future empress. With an affection rating of -1 from the start, she binds to the Femme Fatale System, later renamed the Path of Phoenix Grace.
First, she must win over the cold-faced emperor, whose affection swings wildly. Then she must placate her fourth younger brother, whose possessive adoration is at 98%.
She trades affection points for gold leaf points, gaining an edge as she plunges headlong into the struggle for power.
When food supplies run short, she chuckles: no problem, she has a System. Exchange, exchange.
When the army suffers defeat after defeat, she chuckles: no problem, she has a System. Exchange for weapons and turn the tide.
She plays her pieces in the inner palace and wagers with the power of the phoenix against the world!
