[Concubine-born daughter’s rise + court intrigue and power struggles + powerful allies + historical romance + revenge]
I live in the marquis’s household in the fictional Great Jing, where I’m Shen Weilan, a concubine-born daughter, and from the start, I’m in hell mode.
I thought I was just an ordinary concubine-born daughter, only to discover that I’m the orphaned child of the former crown prince, framed and left with a secret weapon: unparalleled skill in both medicine and poison.
But before I can even plan my revenge, my legal mother forces me to marry a brutal prince, my elder half-sister torments me every day, and the Empress Dowager’s spies are watching for a chance to kill me!
Even worse, Great Jing’s court is a cesspool of corruption, the princes carve up the realm, and powerful clans meddle in politics. The whole world has the unmistakable air of being on the verge of collapse.
Fine, fine! If you’ve pushed me this far,
I’m not going to be a concubine-born daughter anyone can bully anymore!
I’ll join forces with the God of War of the Northern Frontier, tear down my wicked legal mother, kick my poisonous elder half-sister to the curb, topple the Empress Dowager who’s thrown the government into chaos, and crush the princes’ rebellion. From a good-for-nothing in the marquis’s household to the imperial tutor of an age, I’ll decide the fate of Great Jing!
It's very novel and very beautiful. It tells the story of the heroine from being a concubine to becoming famous in Beijing.
