[Absurd comedy + lighthearted + ancient setting + female lead + palace intrigue + no angst + happy ending]
Though she was the most gifted disciple of her sect, she was unjustly accused and cast out.
She went down the mountain hoping to earn enough to get by, only to run into the reigning emperor traveling incognito and somehow end up in his harem.
Shen Qingyu cares little for worldly affairs and has no interest in competing for favor, but the currents beneath the harem’s surface keep sweeping her into one whirlpool after another.
Whispering in the emperor’s ear, framing others, poisoning, even assassination.
Even a clay Bodhisattva has a temper. When you’ve had enough, there’s no need to keep enduring it!
With a single sword, Shen Qingyu throws the harem into turmoil, then quietly disappears into the night.
At night, she becomes the Jade-Faced Asura. By day, she puts away her sword and remains the palace’s dignified and elegant Noble Consort.
No matter how masterful your palace schemes, I’ll cut through them with one stroke.
You think you can win with sharp words? My sword is sharp too!
