She Helped Him Become Emperor, Only to Be Cruelly Cast Aside

Jiang Shangli, the legitimate daughter of the emperor and empress, grew up cherished in the depths of the palace, radiant as a precious pearl. Yet her life plunged into an abyss after an unexpected love affair. As a young woman, Jiang Shangli caught one fleeting glimpse of Lin Xiao and believed she had found the man destined for her. But it was all part of a carefully plotted scheme. Lin Xiao exploited her innocence and affection, gradually devouring her family and even causing her father and mother, the king and queen, to die unjustly. In this game of love, Jiang Shangli was willing to do anything for Lin Xiao, while he merely used her feelings to climb higher and higher toward power. In the end, Lin Xiao ascended the throne, only to send Jiang Shangli to the Cold Palace and strip her of her status, reducing her to a commoner. Only then did Jiang Shangli awaken as if from a dream. Lin Xiao had been using her from the very beginning, and he already had countless other women by his side. Pain and fury blazed in her heart, and she swore to return to the imperial palace and avenge her family. On her path to revenge, Jiang Shangli engaged Lin Xiao in a fierce contest. By chance, she discovered the secret he had kept hidden: a shocking truth powerful enough to shake everything she had ever felt for him.
