In the first year of Taihe, Wang's daughter from Langya was taken into the Northern Wei court and became a slave.
Her name is Feng Yu, and she is the daughter of a branch of the top noble family in the Southern Dynasties. Her father was executed by the Nine Clan for being involved in a political struggle, and she was reduced from a wealthy family to a palace maid in Yeting.
In this Xianbei palace, she had nothing. No backing, no background, not even freedom. The only thing she can rely on is the historical wisdom her father taught her, and a word engraved in her bones——
"In this palace, you can only survive if others need you."
With her proficiency in Xianbei and Chinese, she stood out from the Huanyi Bureau and became the translator of Empress Dowager Feng. She used the tactics in the history books as weapons, and worked her way through the gap between the harem and the former dynasty.
She witnessed the great changes of an era: Empress Dowager Feng came to power, Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang, Xianbei's sinicization reform, the prince's rebellion was abolished...
She was involved in the cruel system of "a child is valued even if his mother dies", and she learned one thing between life and death——
Power is not something that is stolen from you. It is given to you by others who think you are worthy of it after you have done something that others cannot do.
From the daughter of a guilty minister to a concubine, from a survivor of the Southern Dynasty to an important woman in the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This is not a simple palace fight novel.
This is the growth history of a woman who keeps her heart in the whirlpool of power.
It is also a picture of the Northern Wei Dynasty connected by individual destiny.
Open it and you will return to the era when iron blood and civilization collided.
See how a weak woman can survive in troubled times and become her own backer.
