[Strong Female Lead | No transmigration, rebirth, or System | Palace Intrigue and Political Scheming]
No love-brain nonsense. Starting out as a low-ranking bondservant palace maid in the Fourth Archives, she lies low, bides her time, and secretly learns the art of political maneuvering. She takes down Jin Yuyan, outwits Hailan, and knows exactly how to play the emperor.
She plans every move carefully and never lets a grudge go unanswered. Rising from a palace maid to Imperial Noble Consort, she ultimately helps her son ascend the throne and becomes the Empress Dowager with power over the realm, the true ultimate victor of the Forbidden City.
