Bai Changshu transmigrates into the body of an empress confined to the Cold Palace. The emperor wants her dead, the favored concubine wants to kill her, and the Imperial Preceptor wants to sacrifice her to Heaven. Even a lowly maid treats her like she isn't human.
Enough is enough! She has to fight back! Fight back! And fight back again!
Bai Changshu plans to start by taking on the Imperial Preceptor, Bei Yechi, but she never expected to pick the hardest opponent first and end up losing herself to him.
So now... “My lord Imperial Preceptor, whatever you say goes. I'll do as you say...”
“Your Majesty, with palace-intrigue skills like yours, do you really think you'll survive to the end?” He can't help but worry.
“Don't worry, don't worry. The Imperial Preceptor covets my beauty, but I'm the one woman he can never have!”
Everyone says, “The empress has gone mad...”
Bai Changshu is on the verge of breaking down. “Everything I said is true! Just wait and see!”
