Every chapter is a thrill. A must-read for adults. There's no true love in the halls of power.
[A highly intelligent heroine playing along with the situation + the hero and three male love interests in a battle for her heart + Empress System + satisfying power fantasy + no romance]
A beautiful face sent her straight to hell. For the sake of his younger brother's future, Wu Dalang personally handed Pan Jinlian over to the rich and powerful Ximen Qing. After enduring endless torment at the Ximen residence, she died, only to be reborn. She burned Wu Dalang to death, seduced Ximen Qing to stay alive, and then stumbled upon a secret belonging to Shangguan Zheng, the emperor's son.
With exceptional courage and intelligence, she made her way to the capital and became a princess. Then, by chance, she acquired the Empress System. Complete its tasks, and she could ascend the throne and become the supreme ruler.
This is the survival game of adulthood: there's no true love in the halls of power.
