From the start, after transmigrating as a little beggar in a mass grave, Ruohua wanted only to survive. She happened to save a badly wounded, handsome man, then happened to steal the jade pendant that marked his identity.
She never imagined that the next time they met, he would be sitting high on the imperial throne, the feared tyrant Murong Rui. As for her, she had assumed another woman's name, been poisoned, and become the lowest-ranking palace maid in his harem.
The tyrant treated her like a pawn and put her through one test after another. The mastermind behind the scenes controlled her with the antidote, forcing her to steal secrets. Caught between them, she used her modern psychologist's insight to fight her way through the treacherous palace.
Her secret identities came tumbling out one by one: he was the man who had saved her life, and she was the ray of light in his mass grave. Then she suddenly turned out to be a princess of an enemy nation, raised far from home!
When the conspiracy came to light and a coup erupted, she took a fatal sword strike for him and became the one thing he could never allow anyone to touch.
From then on, the iron-blooded emperor kept his harem empty for her, scoured the land for doctors and medicine, and vowed to lay his vast empire at her feet.
See how a modern psychological counselor takes charge of an ancient palace, trains a tyrant into a devoted puppy, and rises from beggar to empress!
The story setting and plot are quite novel, not draggy, and very straightforward. Overall, it's still a novel worth reading 🤭
