Rising from the Ashes with Her Inner Voice: The Making of a Concubine's Daughter into an Empress

Yuan Baobao transmigrates into a storybook as the concubine-born daughter of the Minister of Rites, destined to die young. In the original tale, she and her mother are treated as utterly expendable, and every step in the household and palace intrigues is fraught with deadly danger. After unexpectedly gaining the ability to share thoughts, she and her mother, Liu Jiaojiao, become connected in heart and mind, joining forces to expose conspiracies. More astonishing still, even the cold-faced emperor can hear her thoughts. One sharp remark can turn the court upside down, and a single thought can reverse the tide. She acts sweet and obedient, while inwardly rolling her eyes. Others rely on schemes to outwit their rivals. She wins the advantage by “livestreaming” her thoughts. From a concubine-born daughter framed with poisoned tea to a great general who runs an academy and influences the affairs of state. Mother and daughter join forces to make a comeback, while the emperor secretly lends his support. The family of three triumphs through the power of their hearts, and in the end, secures the realm.
