Everyone in the Minister of Rites’ household knew that the Lu family’s second daughter, Lu Lingning, was meek and timid. Even her father, Lu Chongjian, treated her like a dispensable ornament.
Above her were her harsh stepmother, Madam Cui, her hypocritical elder sister, and her arrogant elder brother. Below her was her frail, helpless birth mother, Lin Wanrou.

She took on her stepmother, put her elder sister in her place, dealt with her treacherous siblings, and protected the only mother she had.
As turmoil engulfed the imperial palace and the political landscape shifted, she planned every step, leveraging the power of influential ministers to turn the world upside down.
Everyone thought she was a pawn, but little did they know...
She had been holding the pieces from the very beginning.
The descriptions in the book are very vivid, flexible and beautiful.
