In a single day, she was framed, and her entire family was wiped out. The legitimate daughter of a military family, she died in the Cold Palace and was buried without a name.
Reborn, Su Jinghuang wants only two things:
To keep her loved ones safe, and show no mercy to her enemies.
Her half-sister seems tender as water, but hides a poisonous snake beneath her smile? Then Su Jinghuang will tear away her disguise and trample her in front of everyone.
The emperor seems gentle and refined, but is using her to advance his schemes? She will simply smile and ignore him, refusing to bow to Heaven's will.
The court officials want to use her as a pawn? Then she'll turn the tables and become queen, changing the rules of the realm one step at a time.
She plans every move, turning the tide with a flick of her hand. Joining forces with a deposed empress from the Cold Palace and celebrated beauties from the pleasure quarters, she stirs the court's waters as a woman and claims a position in life she was never supposed to have.
"In this life, I won't become anyone's consort, and I won't live for anyone else."
