A hellish start! After transmigrating into a book, Jiang Xue becomes a cannon-fodder palace maid who pours tea and water for a tyrant.
The harem is full of danger at every turn. When a fake-sweet coworker deliberately sticks out her leg to trip Jiang Xue so she can climb the ranks, Jiang Xue doesn’t hold back. She stomps hard on the woman’s instep!
The fake-sweet girl drops to her knees and weeps prettily. “Your Majesty, please see the truth! Sister Jiang Xue deliberately harmed me!”
Jiang Xue rolls her eyes inwardly. “What terrible acting! Are you blind? Can’t you see she stuck her leg out first?”
Xiao Yan, leaning against the dragon throne, hears her thoughts. With a cold laugh, he doesn’t even glance at the fake-sweet girl before passing sentence. “Daring to put on a show in front of me? Skin her and throw her out of the palace!”
In the Eastern Palace, Jiang Xue doesn’t need to get her hands dirty tearing apart the white lotus herself. All she has to do is spill juicy secrets in her mind, and the man who holds power over all under heaven is the sharpest blade in her hand!
She gossips and snarks her way through the story as the fake-sweet supporting characters are wiped out and corrupt officials at court are rooted out.
The officials tremble in fear, all wailing about what kind of sorcery this demon woman used to beguile the emperor. Then, on the day of his enthronement ceremony, the tyrant takes her hand and leads her to the highest point, gazing down at the magnificent realm. “Are you satisfied with the position of empress?”
