The Demon Empress Jia Nanfeng
On their wedding night, the foolish Crown Prince called her ugly. She immediately slapped him across the face. "You fool, remember this: I call the shots here in the Eastern Palace!"
She was the ugliest woman in the Western Jin Dynasty, and also its most powerful and venomous empress.
Without a peerless beauty's face, she used an iron fist to crush everyone who looked down on her. Without a prince to back her, she used poisoned wine and sharp blades to eliminate pregnant concubines in the harem. When her maternal relatives stood in her way with their overweening power, she turned their own strength against them and wiped out their entire clan. When the princes of the imperial house coveted her power, she discarded them without a second thought.
Crimson rouge was her armor of power, while a sandalwood box containing severed hair concealed her twisted possessiveness. Her male favorites were obsessed with her, the emperor was under her control, and the court trembled at her feet.
She rose to the top over mountains of bones, but also lit the flames of the Rebellion of the Eight Princes with her own hands.
When a cup of gold-flake wine was brought before her, she threw back her head, drained it, and laughed wildly. "After I'm dead, let the whole world go to hell!"
This is the thrilling tale of a plain woman who went from a resentful wife in the imperial palace to a generation's most infamous demon empress!
