[Sky-screen story + empress + ruthless decisiveness + political intrigue]
Shen Weiwan opened her eyes and found herself an abandoned consort in the Cold Palace.
The original owner had discovered the Noble Consort's affair and been strangled to death in the Cold Palace.
She nearly met the same end. The moment a white silk cord tightened around her neck, the sky screen appeared.
[The Heaven-ordained empress is dying. Great Yong will fall at once]
Golden light burst forth, and five calamities struck at the same time.
The emperor's hands trembled. The Noble Consort and her people dropped to their knees. The entire court kowtowed frantically.
Shen Weiwan rose from the floor and straightened her collar, blood still running down her neck.
“Tell His Majesty this: I, Shen Weiwan, am not dead yet.”
Later, when the noble families tried to kill her, the sky screen burned down three of their granaries.
When the emperor tried to freeze her out, the sky screen brought down the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Everyone knelt before her and called her the “Heaven-ordained Empress.”
She looked down at the blood on her hands and smiled.
“Fate? I've never believed in it.”
“I believe in one thing only: anyone who stands in my way dies.”
The Empress of Destiny is calm, mature and steady, with a reasonable layout, and is awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
