Raising a Powerful Ally for Myself

【Women Rule｜Court Intrigue｜Multiple Husbands｜Raising the Powerful】 Everyone at court laughs at Crown Princess Linghu Muxue of the Eastern Palace for losing herself in the company of handsome men, spending every night in the harem and neglecting her new policies. The Fourth Princess is waiting for her chance to strike. The great clans are secretly joining forces, all waiting for Linghu Muxue to ruin her own foundations so they can take her place. But no one knows that the men in the Eastern Palace, who seem to be nothing more than her consorts, are all peerless talents she personally rescued from the mire and carefully nurtured. Gongsun Yixiu manages the household and plans with foresight; Ye Xiaoran can heal with a single touch, cure poison, and provide disaster relief; Mu Yinyue commands a fortune and oversees trade; Cang Ying gathers evidence of crimes and topples corrupt officials with a single strike; Zhu Xinglan reads the stars and divines disasters before they happen... Her supposed indulgence in beauty is all part of a carefully laid trap. She uses human nature as her game board and raises the greatest talents in the realm as her blades, luring her enemies in while she waits for the right moment. When the game is over, she will wipe out treacherous clans, crush every scheme, ascend the throne as empress, and rule the vast realm!
