An Epic Song Through the Ages

(No Romance + Historical Court Intrigue + Exploration of Human Nature + Strong Female Lead + Historical Court Intrigue)

A historical political-intrigue novel with a strong female lead. From a pawn forced to depend on others to a female chancellor wielding power over the entire court, only Ming Tang knows how many storms and trials she has endured along the way.

No villains in the narrative: Conflicts arise from differing positions, interests, gaps in information, and the limitations of the era, revealing the characters' complexity and predicaments.

Clear main plot: The truth behind her father's wrongful conviction + the heroine's rise in status and power + the choices she must make amid the tides of history.
