Longing for the Palace

(Pure Palace Intrigue + Contrasting Personalities)

Beauty's Gambit: The Phoenix Rules the Realm

Jiang Nianci is breathtakingly beautiful and delicate, yet she is the most deeply hidden player in the game.

To investigate the mystery behind her elder sister, the empress's sudden death, she enters the imperial palace, using gentleness as a blade and fragility as a shield as she navigates the harem.

Mu Jingcheng, emperor of the Great Dynasty, is cunning and ruthless. He loves her intelligence and beauty, yet fears the power and schemes of her family.

As suspicion turns to love and manipulation to devotion, he ultimately places the phoenix crown on her head with his own hands, giving her the entire realm as well.
