Palace intrigue and household drama. Not a pure romance. Set in a fictional world, with entirely invented ranks that have nothing to do with real history!
The original host knew medicine. She could fight, act, and scheme, all while playing sweet and seductive. She would dominate the harem!
A heroine who grows stronger over time: sweet or salty, coy or alluring, never blinded by love, focused solely on revenge and rising to the top. Packed with satisfying moments and twists.
Su Zili was once an award-winning actress in the 21st century, stunningly beautiful and clearheaded. Then she transmigrated into the body of an illegitimate daughter who had been cast out and disowned by her family.
Her birth father ignored her, her mother died tragically, and her family offered her no protection. Jealousy from her legitimate sisters reduced her to begging on the streets. Starving and freezing, she joined forces with Prince Chu, Mu Xingzhou, and entered the imperial selection.
With her superb acting skills, she used green-tea tactics to defeat other green-tea schemers, charming and outmaneuvering them until everyone thought she was nothing but a pretty airhead.
But no one suspected that she was brave, clever, and full of tricks. She succeeded in becoming the emperor's favorite consort...
Life in the palace was perilous at every turn. To climb higher, Su Zili used every means at her disposal, handled each crisis with ease, and gradually realized her ambitions...
Years later, the emperor asked, "Li'er, did you ever truly love me?"
"Never!" she answered resolutely. And in her heart, there truly was someone else...
When the emperor died, she ruled from behind the curtain, eventually reaching the pinnacle of power...
