Beneath the Vermilion Wall

Also known as The Doting Concubine by Day, the Scoundrel's Career-Grave Digger by Night

[Palace Intrigue and Favor] [Beloved Consort] [Revenge] [Comeback] [Court Power Struggles] [Ensemble Cast]

My scoundrel of a father forced me into the palace to pave the way for his career? Thanks for asking. I'm now the most favored woman in the harem, and my scoundrel of a father is crying as he begs my forgiveness. From pawn to beloved consort, I personally cut off my father's road to success, turning it into a path to the executioner's block. Jiang Mingyue of the Minister of Revenue's household was sent into the palace as a pawn in her family's power games. In this deadly harem, where people devour one another without a trace, she treads carefully, fighting with all her might on a treacherous battlefield for survival, armed with exceptional intelligence and courage.

Some are born carefree and disdain the palace's scheming, yet their families' fates are tightly bound to court conflicts. Reluctantly swept into this bloodless battlefield, they struggle to survive in the narrow space between favor and power plays. Others become trapped in the maze of love, wavering between false affection and deceit until they wither away, leaving only a sigh behind.

Every shift in the harem's fortunes is closely tied to the undercurrents stirring in the court. Like cornered beasts, the competing factions wage a breathtaking battle to the death for imperial favor, family honor, and their own survival. Within these vermilion walls, who will break through the encirclement and have the last laugh?
