The Max-Level Empress Dowager Returns, and the Whole Court Are Her Grandsons

Shen Wei, the ninety-five-year-old Grand Empress Dowager, had served three emperors and ruled from behind the curtain for forty years. Yet, on her deathbed, she learned to her horror that the son she had personally raised to the throne had long since turned his blade against the Shen family. She died with bitter resentment, only to be reborn as a fifteen-year-old newly appointed palace lady of low status. From the start, a favored consort framed her, and she was shoved into an ice bucket, nearly dying.

But within that frail body lived a ruthless, iron-willed soul. Returning with memories of the future and sweeping political cunning, she wielded the court's long-buried secrets, her ministers' weaknesses, and the emperor's schemes as blades in her hand. Facing a jealous favored consort and a hypocritical empress, she planned every move carefully and used herself as bait. Not only did she survive against all odds, she also stirred a keen interest in herself in the young emperor, who saw her as his "mother." Then the game took another shocking turn: her adopted son, presumed dead for ten years, the former dynasty's crown prince, returned shrouded in strange secrets. Friend or foe, no one could tell.

This is the most twisted contest between mother and son, and the ultimate feast of political intrigue. Watch her rise from the lowest dust of the palace, step by step, back to the pinnacle of power!
