The Poisonous Queen from a Humble Family

Pure palace intrigue, with an entire cast of villains! The early story lays the groundwork, while the later plot moves at a breakneck pace, with every step carefully planned! The impoverished Su family of the capital sells everything they own to send their illegitimate daughter, Su Wanyun, into the palace. She has no transmigration golden finger, no foreknowledge from being reborn, and no System to give her an advantage. All she has is a brilliant mind and boundless courage.

In the deep palace, every step is a trap and danger lurks everywhere. The empress’s oppression, the noble consort’s schemes, the favored consort’s framing, the palace maids’ betrayal... Open attacks and hidden plots are impossible to guard against, while rumors and gossip follow her like a shadow. Su Wanyun treads carefully, as if walking on thin ice. She uses her wits to overcome crises and strikes back at her enemies without mercy, struggling to survive amid the treacherous currents of the harem.

There are endless viperous beauties, schemes that can never be exhausted, and deadly traps with no way out! From an obscure low-ranking noble lady to a consort who rises step by step, she ultimately turns the tide through her own efforts, claims the empress’s throne, and becomes a winner everyone fears and respects! Within the palace walls, life is never peaceful. The only rule is survival at everyone else’s expense!
