From the Start as Huan: This Concubine Did Her Best

I, Su Muqing, transmigrated into the thirteen-year-old Nian Shilan.

I know how the story ends: the Nian family will be executed to the last, and Consort Hua will die after smashing her head against a wall.

But my brother Nian Gengyao, standing before me, is gentle and refined, loyal to the emperor and country, nothing like the arrogant, tyrannical minister described in the history books.

I don't understand. Why would a man like him meet such a tragic end?

I tread carefully at every step, all to protect the Nian family and myself.

I switched out the Yichun Fragrance with my own hands and gave birth to a prince, believing I had finally secured my happiness.

But the emperor gradually grew distant, his gaze growing colder by the day.

It wasn't until he had my brother executed on a fabricated charge

that I finally understood: I was the one who had brought about the Nian family's downfall.

An emperor's love weighs no more than dust beside the fate of his empire.

I schemed with all my might, yet gained nothing...

Would you be willing to hear my story?
