A Courtesan Enters the Palace, and the Entire Court Calls Her a Vixen Who Will Doom the Nation

Palace intrigue + exclusive devotion + indulgence + a ruthless emperor versus the top courtesan of Zu Yue Tower

He is the supreme ruler, an iron-fisted emperor with a heart of ice and countless souls slain by his sword.

She is the reigning beauty of Zu Yue Tower. With a radiant smile, she climbed to the peak of the pleasure quarter, only to become a “gift” carefully purchased by a powerful minister and presented for the emperor’s bedchamber.

In the Golden Hall, Lin Shouzheng, the venerable chancellor who holds power over the court, bows low, his voice booming:

“Your Majesty, this old servant has found a peerless beauty named Hua Cishu. I present her to Your Majesty to grace the imperial palace.”

Seated upon the gilded dragon throne, the emperor lowers his eyes. His fingertips trace the cold armrest, and the corner of his mouth lifts in a faint, indifferent smile.

A courtesan thinks she deserves to enter his palace?

Then that graceful figure is led into the hall and slowly raises her head.

The moment their eyes meet

There is no fear in her eyes.

They are like a deep pool, like a cold star, like... the self he has not seen in so long.

It turns out that even supreme power and unrivaled honor can sometimes be no match for one “carefully staged” glance from the pleasure quarter.

And in that one glance, a crack forms in his heart, frozen a thousand feet deep.
