In All Her Splendor, I Rose from Side Consort to Empress Dowager

[The protagonist grows and transforms + traditional historical romance + neither lead is sexually inexperienced + the heroine works hard to carve out her own happiness] For the first sixteen years of her life, Xiang Zhuohua grew up under her parents’ strict demands into a model young lady of good breeding. Then she discovered that her parents saw her only as a pawn to consolidate their power. Fine, she can play the virtuous wife and loving mother, but she’ll claim the status and position she wants, too. What? The Fourth Prince, whom Father backed, has lost the fight for the throne, and the family is to be imprisoned with him? I don’t care. I won’t get involved. Oh, I have a son, too. In that case, I might as well secure the position of Empress Dowager while I’m at it. The heroine is still growing and changing in the early chapters, and she has no golden finger. Please be patient and accompany Zhuohua as she grows and gets rich, winning herself wealth and prestige along the way.
