Synopsis:
She once had a childhood sweetheart, Song Qiyu.
Behind vermilion walls and locked gates, an imperial edict calling for a selection of consorts dragged Su Yiyue, the legitimate second daughter of the Minister of Rites, into the palace, a place that devours those within it.
When she first entered the palace, all she wanted was to keep to herself and live in peace. But the inner palace is no place to find refuge. Better to break the deadlock than to sit back and take the blows.
By chance, the emperor glimpses her insight and talent as she eases his worries, and her exceptional gifts win his favor. His sudden affection makes her a target: the domineering Noble Consort sees her as a thorn in her side, seemingly kind concubines hide daggers behind their smiles, and powerful in-laws want to crush her.
From an obscure beauty to the empress who rules the six palaces, she never sought empty romance. What she wants is the strength to establish herself in this treacherous palace. The emperor's exclusive favor is both her shield and her blade. She never expects him to give her his one and only heart, yet she manages to make the Son of Heaven's gaze linger on her alone.

The content is substantial and the story is exciting, worth reading.
The heroine is very good. I like it a lot. Don't fall in love with the male protagonist who is a big pig (of course he is an emperor after all). The heroine is beautiful and concentrates on her career.
I wrote this article to fulfill my long-held dream of writing about palace battles. When I was a child, I loved watching palace battle dramas such as Jin Zhi Yue Ni, Gong Shen She, and The Legend of Zhen Huan. I hope everyone will like this work.
How many palace battles started from the draft, and the emperor caused a lot of trouble for himself.
I admire people who know how to fight in palaces, but I can't survive even one episode.
I saw it in the bookstore and saw the latest in one go. I support it.
The more I look at it, the more it tastes different.
The content does not match the conciseness. Do you have a favorite?
It has a strong sense of immersion and I read it in one sitting
How can I put it, the plot is very good, but the names of the characters and the palaces are always clumsy. They call them this now and that now. It would be better if they could be unified.
