A Game for the World: From a Minister's Daughter in Disgrace to Master of All

She enters the palace to kill her master. She fights for power to win her freedom.

Three years ago, Imperial Noble Consort Su framed the entire Shen family of Jiangnan, and they were sentenced to execution. The pampered Shen Shaohua perished in a sea of flames. The one who crawled back from hell was a palace maid with a heart as hard as iron: Shen Yanxin.

She lies in wait at her enemy’s side, at once her most trusted confidante and her deadliest poison. She smiles with her, shares her bed, and shields her from attacks both open and covert. The Imperial Noble Consort believes she has the sharpest blade at her command, never realizing that its edge is always at her own throat.

Using the emperor’s power, Shen Yanxin brings down the Su family and kills her sworn enemy with her own hands.

Revenge is only the beginning.

Amid the treachery of court, she makes every move with foresight; amid the palace’s vicious infighting, she watches with cool indifference. She bears a son and raises him with care, helping him ascend the throne.

With the supreme power of ruling from behind the curtain within reach, she removes her hairpins and ornaments in front of the entire court and gently hands power back.

“These palace walls cannot hold me.”

She turns and walks away, carefree, becoming Jiangnan’s wealthiest Madam Shen.

[This is the story of a woman who begins with hatred but ultimately rises above it, carving a path to freedom through intelligence and perseverance. No male lead, all about building her career, with absolute freedom of body and soul as her ultimate goal.]
