[The Female Lead Is a True Villain, Ruthless and Cunning, Driven by Profit, with the Empire Above All]
She is the most bewitching poisonous dove of the Dayin Dynasty, and power is the only thing that intoxicates her.
The court is a treacherous game, and she makes the clouds and rain with a flip of her hand:
The Empress Dowager "dies suddenly of heart palpitations"?
She personally served the "calming soup."
Poor scholars carry a corpse to the palace gates and pound on the doors?
She lit the fuse, stoking their fury and burning away the respectable facade of the pure-minded officials.
The imperial examination is reopened, and the people rejoice?
A giant warning cauldron, forged from the bloodstained weapons of corrupt officials, already stands before the examination hall!
When the imperial robe is placed upon her shoulders, she climbs a mountain of bones to claim the throne.
The officials prostrate themselves beneath the vermilion steps, while he alone stands with his hand on his sword.
Her fingertips brush the cold dragon carvings on the throne, and her red lips part. "My lords, does anyone object to my accession?"
No one dares answer. Only he knows how much of the blood still wet beneath these golden steps belongs to the murderous schemes she laid with her own hands.
Love? What a joke. Her heart holds only the eternal stability of the empire.
The tenderness of her male consorts is a lie, and the whispers at her bedside are bait. The throne and love are both pieces in her game.
When the cold edge of vengeance finally points at her throat, her eyes hold nothing but icy scorn:
"Shen Yan, I gave you your life. Want to kill me? Then ask the road of bones to the throne that I paved for you if it will let you!"
Watch the wicked phoenix bathe the heavens in blood and flame, wielding political schemes as her blade and human hearts as her pieces, as she carves out a path to absolute power along this imperial road of corpses and blood!
