A Game of Empire, a Consort's Scheme
She is a history prodigy who transmigrates into the cold palace.
He is a ruthless, sinister emperor devoted to imperial power.
She draws him into her game with a single hand. He uses her wisdom to purge the harem, reform the court, and bring prosperity to the people, until all under heaven live in harmony.
Love and hate entwine, truth and falsehood rise and fall, old grievances are weighed against forgiveness, and every gain against its cost.
It is a life of countless honors and humiliations, bound together by deep affection, and a lifelong romance in which each holds fast to their own convictions.
It is an agonizing push and pull of joy and sorrow, and a fated calamity from which neither can escape.
