Wen Yan'er was forced by her legitimate elder sister to enter the palace and regain the emperor's favor. The only reason was that she'd secretly borne a prince behind her sister's back. On a snowy night, she was tortured to death.
Her concubine mother, her younger sister, and even her newborn child all fell into her elder sister's clutches.

Because she looked so much like the emperor's dearly departed first love, she became the most favored woman in the Six Palaces. At last, she gradually took the phoenix throne her elder sister had long coveted, finally avenging her past-life wrongs. Her sister died with her eyes wide open.
There was just one thing that spoiled it. She'd planned to support her son and become empress dowager, but little did she know that the cold emperor was impossible to kill and kept breaking into her chambers to force his attentions on her day after day.
