Not long after Zhen Huan gives birth to twins, everyone in the harem realizes they have returned to the blood-testing scene.
Guaerjia Wenyuan sees the Empress for who she really is and stops serving her, while An Lingrong chooses to keep herself out of trouble. In the later stages, the Empress is left isolated and without support, while the Empress Dowager is still alive.
I’m starting this story over. The first volume is scrapped, and the second volume is being rewritten. Please look forward to it.
