In the thirteenth year of Xuanping, the noble Shen family was falsely accused of treason. The men were beheaded and the women were exiled. The snow that day covered the vermilion palace walls of Chang'an City.
Three years later, a concubine named "Lu Wei", a merchant's concubine, timidly stepped into this cannibal palace with her frail and sickly appearance.
The entire harem thought she was just a weakling who could be manipulated, the most insignificant loser on the Queen Mother's game board.
Until——
The favored domineering imperial concubine drowned at the bottom of a cold winter lake;
The queen of a powerful family was deposed and imprisoned;
The invisible net covering the imperial power was torn apart inch by inch by her.
The arrogant young emperor forced her back to the edge of the throne, and raised her chin with the blade. His eyes were full of madness and passion: "Shen Guanwei, you have calculated every step of the way, taking into account the harem, the former court, and even my sincerity. What exactly do you want?"
Her eyebrows were lowered, and her smile was gentle but cold: "I don't ask for much, I just want to borrow the emperor's head to sacrifice my Shen family's loyalty."
This is a war without gunpowder, using rouge as a cover and human hearts as the blade. In this cage of power, she had to fight her way out, traveling thousands of miles.
