[One Woman, Multiple Men / Strong Female Lead / Green Tea / Male Rivals / Harem / Love Triangle Showdowns / Palace Intrigue]
Yun Guige was once the most lowly princess of the Great Jing dynasty.
To protect her younger brother, she volunteered to travel to a foreign land as a hostage.
Ten years later, she returned to a Great Jing on the brink of turmoil.
The girl who once lay prostrate in the mud now had phoenix eyes brimming with cunning and sharp ambition.
“Men hold the reins of power,” she said, red lips curving, fingertips stained with blood. “But women can become the deadliest poison in the cracks of power.”
What she wanted was never love. She wanted them to bow before her.
And so, more and more men wanted to climb into her bed.
Some coveted her beauty. A calculating, black-hearted minister wanted to make her his own;
Some wanted to repay her kindness. A reserved, studious younger man bared his fangs in the dead of night;
Some coveted her power. An elegant courtesan, as ethereal as an immortal, was willing to enter her household as a concubine;
Some were obsessed with her soul. A solitary, cold-faced general, fierce as a demon, seized power and forced his way into the palace for her sake;
A spirited, sharp-tongued young lord cursed her as cruel-hearted, yet schemed every day to find a way into her harem;
A green-tea, ruthless foreign prince was even willing to break his own wings just to be kept by her side.
Even the pure-hearted gentleman with the guileless soul could not escape her web.
She used herself as bait, turning countless lovesick hearts into stepping-stones as she stirred up a storm.
In this game of chess, what she planned to claim was the entire realm!
With the support of the author, the logic is clear. Yes, take a look.
