Introduction to "The Legend of the Qing Concubine: Wishful Knot"
On the day I entered the palace, I smelled the secret in ambergris.
Others rely on family background and scheming to climb up the ladder, but I rely on a pair of noses - I can distinguish more than 300 kinds of spices, and I can smell the fears and desires deep in people's hearts.
The emperor said that I look like a human being.
The cat given to me was originally fed by that hand; the look in my eyes sometimes seems to be across thousands of mountains and rivers. Later I realized that those thousands of mountains and rivers were the life of another woman.
When grandma died in my arms, the blood was sweet.
She said: "Ruyi knot... Be careful..."
Only then did I realize that entering the palace was not an accident. The face that looked exactly like an old friend was a trap set up by someone.
Then I will break the situation.
Use spices to solve cases, use medicinal foods to save lives, and use the truth you smell to send those who want me to die to hell one by one.
He said: "I have always loved only you."
But in this Forbidden City, love is the most worthless thing.
Until I blocked the knife for him, until he wrote my name with a red pen, until at the canonization ceremony, he personally inserted the magnolia hairpin for me——
I just believed it.
It took me fifteen years to go from being a clad daughter to being in the middle palace.
Fifteen years is enough for an ignorant girl to see clearly every face in this palace.
It is also enough to make that blood-stained wishful knot become the last wisp of fragrance that we hold in our hands when our hair turns gray.
