Synopsis

[Transmigration into a fictional setting + highly intelligent heroine in palace intrigue + face-slapping + a volatile, multifaceted personality + not a clean romance]

Lin Junxue transmigrated to the Xie Dynasty, an era that had never existed in history, and ended up as an unloved empress who had no idea how she died. She’d thought she was a powerless, unloved empress, but it turned out the original owner’s father was a first-rank military marquis, a loyal servant of the court for three generations who commanded a million troops. Her elder brother was a dashing young general who had joined the army at fifteen and guarded the border, striking fear into the enemy. She even had a sister-in-law from a merchant family wealthy enough to rival a nation backing her up. Good grief! No matter how she looked at it, Lin Junxue couldn’t understand how the original owner could have had such an overpowered hand and still died so miserably. Later, she learned the reason: that wretched thing called love.

As the old saying goes, since you’re already here, make the best of it.

Later, Lin Junxue took the original owner’s place as this hapless empress. Her goal was to defeat Consort Xi, who reigned supreme over the entire harem, and win the heart of the cold, ruthless emperor.

In the end, with a reborn woman, a System user, and a transmigrator, the imperial harem was more lively than ever.

On her path through the palace intrigues, Lin Junxue became the harem’s biggest “white lotus.”

Throughout the novel, the female protagonist is always calculating and scheming. She is a devoted empress who submits to a suspicious emperor, a woman caught in a complex web of emotions with a noble and aloof ruler, a woman who plots relentlessly to avenge the original owner of the body, a woman who cherishes precious friendships, a ruthless assassin who knows how to use people effectively, and…

I absolutely adore this story so far! The female lead is incredibly cunning, and I love that kind of character. Maybe it's because I also enjoy palace intrigue novels, but this one is truly excellent. How to put it? This female lead is exactly my type—unpretentious and adorable. I think I'm totally in love! 😘

The female lead is so cool, and like Yi Jie, she's a great beauty. It's wonderful that there's no male lead; it's so delicate.

The female lead is perfect without any special abilities, relying solely on her intelligence... The only drawback is that her romance with Zhuxi isn't very intense 🥺 Overall, it's pretty good... Superb! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's a great show. Aside from Consort Chen, everyone in the harem is intelligent, and it's not the typical clichéd kind. The female lead isn't love-struck; she's very clear-headed.

The female lead is incredibly cool and beautiful, a seemingly innocent but actually cunning and ruthless woman. The plot is engaging. Looking forward to seeing how the author continues the story.

Overall, I think this book is well-written. The female protagonist gets revenge and doesn't let anyone off the hook, making it a bit of a "satisfying" read. After all, it's a palace intrigue story, so the female protagonist can't do everything all at once. It also shows the emperor's suspicious nature, which makes you angry.
