From the Start in the Cold Palace, I Conquer the Harem with History Books

Shen Tong, a top history student, suddenly found herself transported into the body of Shen Wan, the wicked cast-off consort in the history books who was to be executed for poisoning the imperial heir.

From the start, she was trapped in the desperate confines of the Cold Palace, burdened with a monstrous false accusation. Faced with the emperor’s coldness and the betrayal of her former sisters, her only weapon was the history in her mind, events that had yet to happen. She knew everyone’s schemes and could foresee how their stories would end.

To survive, she was forced to wear a mask and plan every step with care. She wielded “prophecy” as a blade to pry open the emperor’s tightly guarded heart, and cast a “game of chess” as a net to engage the most dangerous man in the realm in a deadly contest. She had never wanted his favor, only the truth and justice.

When every enemy had been brought to justice and the exalted phoenix throne of the empress was offered to her, she chose to walk away.

She wanted no more splendid cage. She wanted the vast, open world beyond it, where her mind and soul could breathe freely.
