The Rebellious Daughter of the Inner Palace

Su Qingyan is the daughter of a disgraced minister from the previous dynasty. Bearing a deep blood feud, she enters the palace as a low-ranking female official and advances cautiously, step by step. She appears gentle and clever, but holds the secrets of the previous dynasty and conceals a shocking plan. At court, princes vie for the throne and factions clash without end; in the harem, beauties abound and undercurrents surge. With her seemingly fragile body, she navigates the world of ambitious Prince Jing Xiao Ce and the patient, scheming scholar Shen Yan. They are at once enemies and allies, using one another for their own ends. Secret plots, harem conspiracies, imperial examination fraud, and fires on the border... Every step she takes is perilous, yet she never wavers. When she uncovers the truth behind the previous dynasty’s fall and her family’s wrongful conviction, and gains the power to overturn the realm, will she seek revenge for her family or set the world right for all its people? This is not only the tale of a woman’s rise through the treacherous world of power, but also a legend of wisdom, choices, and the fate of the nation!
