So What If I'm a Palace Maid? I'll Still Become a Noble Consort

The story’s protagonist is Sikong Yuexi, an insignificant young palace maid. Pretty and clever, she has always lived cautiously within the palace.

By chance, Sikong Yuexi encounters the emperor in the imperial garden. He is captivated by her fresh, unconventional charm and pays her a little more attention. That attention makes her a target for everyone.

Consort De holds a high rank and is greatly respected by the emperor. Jealous when she sees him favoring Sikong Yuexi, she plots to make Sikong Yuexi disgrace herself before the emperor, earning his fury. Sikong Yuexi is sent to the Cold Palace and endures endless torment.

But Sikong Yuexi refuses to give up. In the Cold Palace, she befriends a forgotten imperial consort dowager, who teaches her how to survive in the palace and navigate its political schemes.

Sikong Yuexi finally finds an opportunity to explain the misunderstanding to the emperor, wins back his favor, and is appointed a Talented Lady. But this is only the beginning of her revenge.

Using the emperor’s favor, she plots step by step until Consort De loses his trust and is ultimately demoted to commoner.

Then a new power rises in the palace: Consort Xian. She wins over many of the other consorts and joins forces with them against Sikong Yuexi. Caught between them, Sikong Yuexi faces danger at every turn.

But with her intelligence and resolve, Sikong Yuexi sees through their plots time and again and successfully turns the tables, ensuring that Consort Xian and the others receive the punishment they deserve.

After years of struggle, Sikong Yuexi finally rises to the rank of Noble Consort, becoming one of the most powerful women in the imperial harem.
