Synopsis

For thirty years, the Left and Right Chancellor's households stood against each other, their influence deeply rooted throughout the court. The emperor and the two chancellor's households formed a three-way balance of power.

A carefully laid scheme, an imperial edict granting a marriage, and a top-secret report about the “Fire Phoenix's Return to Court” repeatedly pushed the Left Chancellor's household into a dead end. Yet with protagonist Helan Yu's schemes and the perfect cooperation of her father and the empress, the household escaped danger time and again.

Then the Empress Dowager made her move. A shocking conspiracy, exploiting the Right Chancellor's household and foreign enemies, once again pushed the Left Chancellor's household to the brink of life and death...

Once you enter the palace gates, they are as deep as the sea. When Helan Yu enters the palace, her grand plan for revenge becomes entangled with her personal feelings. Ever cautious and clearheaded, she ultimately helps clear the names of more than three hundred and sixty members of the Left Chancellor's household!

Palace Intrigue and Entering the Palace Through a Selection

Ancient-style romance. Transmigration or not, either is fine. Something that makes you think, where the female lead rises from a low-ranking palace position to a high one. The leads don't have to be each other's first.

Everyone, Recommend Some Real Palace-Intrigue Stories

I’ve read so many stories where the leads are each other’s only partners, the female lead gets ridiculous later on, the emperor favors her for no reason, and her family is low-ranking but somehow she can skip several ranks at a time. I want a palace-intrigue story that makes a bit more sense, please, I’m begging you.
