On my wedding day, my half-sister Jiang Rou tore out my heart, stole my jade pendant, and kicked me off a cliff. Reborn at my coming-of-age banquet, I, Jiang Xueyuan, turned the tables: I forced her to drink poisoned wine, stripped her down in front of everyone to prove her innocence, and made her bark like a dog! By day, I play the frail, delicate beauty to win sympathy. By night, I use silver needles and poison to punish the wicked. The powerful Eunuch Rong Jin makes ruthless decisions in court, yet in private he melts down the dragon throne to make jewelry for me. Jiang Rou is a venomous snake who turned me into a human stump in my previous life. This time, I'll turn her into a living, breathing lantern and hang her from the city gate. With a pocket dimension and a secret manual in hand, and scoundrels and vixens beneath my feet, watch me rise from a concubine-born daughter to empress, shake the world, and write a passionate, torturous love story with the obsessive Eunuch Rong Jin!
