The Favor of the Emperor

She was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, but on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, she was exposed as a fake heiress and cast out on the spot.

Back in the countryside, with her adoptive mother gravely ill and her own origins shrouded in mystery, she struggled to get by on her gift for remembering everything she saw and the court knowledge she had secretly studied for sixteen years.

By chance, she activated an underground network of the Jiangnan faction's old allies. With the Regent, Huo Siyan, secretly plotting to help her, she began her path to a comeback.

From breaking through in the business world to political maneuvering at court, she used her wits to overcome every obstacle, delivering one face-slapping after another to the real heiress and the powerful ministers.

Half of an account book revealed the secret behind the switch sixteen years ago: her biological grandfather was none other than the wrongly executed Prince of Zhenbei.

He kept her safe, taught her the art of political intrigue, and stood by her as she turned the tides of power.

When the truth came to light, she stood atop the palace halls, watching coldly as her enemies were brought to justice.

“Do you want to return to the capital and see with your own eyes how they die?”

She replied, “I don't need to see it. My own hands will be enough.”
