[Historical romance and court intrigue] [Not a mindless heroine] [Both leads are strong] [Transmigration into a fictional world]
"Nalan Muzhi, do you like me?"
"I do."
"I don't believe you. You're lying to me!"
"I would never lie to you."
The dark-eyed man before me was just one of the thousand male consorts I came to possess after I transmigrated and became a princess. He said he wouldn't lie to me, yet secretly controlled the lifeblood of the Yang Dynasty's intelligence network. Even the male consorts in the princess's residence obeyed only him. Although my own brother was the emperor, he too ordered the man to harm me.
I turned the tables, stepping on them all as I claimed the throne and became the empress of Yangdu. Little by little, I learned to scheme and manipulate hearts. So what if the Yang Dynasty's warriors were hailed as gods of war? They still had to grovel at my feet and do my bidding.
Nalan Muzhi was the only one I could never understand. That man who said he wanted to share the empire with me must be lying again!
