Xie Shuangxu, daughter of Xie Runzhi, Vice Minister of Revenue, has been the proud legitimate daughter of her family since childhood.
She has always been doted on by her whole family. Her father loves only her mother, and she and her brother, Xie Lingzhi, are their only children.
But when she enters the palace, an edict from the Empress Dowager sends her into the imperial harem.
From then on, she gets whatever she wants, whenever she wants, thanks to her place in the Emperor's heart.
The Empress? The favored consort? After they make their first move against her, Xie Shuangxu decides to stick to her usual principle: if an enemy strikes, wipe them out completely.
The favored consort is demoted, and the Empress is confined.
"Since you can't be a good Empress, then let me take the position." Xie Shuangxu's brazen words leave the Empress pale.
She knows that in the Emperor's heart, she can't compare to Xie Shuangxu.
If she doesn't act soon, this woman may really take her place as Empress.
The Duke of Li's household rebels, the palace is thrown into chaos, and the Emperor falls gravely ill.
Xie Shuangxu: "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
