Synopsis

Yu Zhining is merely a concubine-born daughter. The best marriage she could hope for would be a concubine in a powerful family or a wife in a humble one.

But she doesn’t want to settle for an ordinary life. If she is to be anything, she will be the one seated high above everyone else.

After more than a decade of swallowing her grievances, at last... the emperor has few surviving heirs, and her legitimate elder sister is ill. She is summoned to the palace to bear a child on her sister’s behalf.

Yu Zhining appears obedient and meek as she enters the palace through the selection, but then she tramples her sister underfoot, wins the emperor’s favor, and gives birth to the crown prince.

From consort to noble consort to imperial noble consort, Jiang Yunsheng climbs steadily, one step at a time.

The Son of Heaven, ruler of all beneath the sky, believes until his dying day that his Zhizhi loves him more than anything.

Later, Yu Zhining smiles. “Perhaps I did. Who knows?”

Looking for Palace Intrigue: A Sweet Story with a Spoiled, Arrogant Heroine

The female lead must be especially doted on. Her rank being low is fine. What matters is that she is arrogant and spoiled by favor, the type who can openly vent her temper at the emperor, while he still goes to coax her. However, her arrogance and spoiled behavior must not be based on the emperor having hurt her in the past.

Looking for a Completed Harem-Intrigue Novel, Please!

I once read a book where the heroine was abandoned as a child and went through a lot of hardship before entering the palace and becoming the emperor’s favorite consort. I can’t remember either lead’s name, but I vaguely remember that the writing was beautiful. The heroine had been treasured by her original family, and I think her name might have been Mingzhu.
