Dark, unhinged crown princess X empress with the fated destiny of a phoenix
(The female lead is completely untouched, okay? The little empress was frail and sickly, so the crown princess's father never touched her. She was brought into the palace because of the strange celestial signs that appeared at her birth.)
She is ruthless, carving out a path for women in court through sheer force of will.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice. Strange signs appeared in heaven and earth when she was born, and she was brought into the palace at an early age. She was only eight when she arrived, and she learned from childhood that within these red walls, the least trustworthy thing is the human heart.
“Are you the empress?” A flicker of admiration crossed Ye Qing's eyes. Eight-year-old Ye Yuqing was like a piece of fine jade. Even at eight, it was clear she would grow into a beauty capable of bringing a kingdom to ruin. “What is it? Have you been so dazzled by me that you've forgotten yourself?” Ye Yuqing had caught the admiration in Ye Qing's eyes. Every smile and frown of hers was as radiant as spring blossoms. Truly, her smile was enchanting, her eyes captivating. “I wouldn't dare.”
“Clatter, ” A wine cup hit the floor, then rolled to the bedside. “Mother, Father is almost dead. When I take the throne, will you be my empress, Yu Niang?” As she spoke, Ye Qing backed Ye Yuqing against the carriage until she had nowhere left to retreat. “Qing'er, you're drunk.” Hearing this, Ye Qing gently stroked her face with her cold hand. Her eyes reddened at the corners, and her voice was slightly hoarse. “No. I've never been drunk.” Ye Yuqing was just about to say something when Ye Qing's lips pressed against hers.
“With Heaven as our hall, the earth as our shrine, and blood as our betrothal letter.” They bowed to each other.
