The Song Dynasty Tea Consort: From Talented Lady to Regent Empress Dowager

A lone girl whose family was wiped out enters the palace, and the tea patterns in her tiger's-mouth palm become her ultimate cheat!

She can smell death! She can glimpse the secrets of fate!

Get a whiff of rotting sweetness near a rotten person? They'll be dead within three days!

Bitter-almond pastries laced with poison? Eat them and you'll be vomiting and running to the bathroom in no time!

See the tea patterns freeze when Empress Cao is near? Stay well clear and avoid the trap!

Can she see fragments of the future just by brewing tea? Red shadows mean danger, blue mist means good fortune!

The price? A headache is nothing! As long as she can stay alive and make things happen, that's good enough!

Shen Chayin's rule for survival: No putting on airs. Face them head-on!

Consort Zhang sends poisoned pastries? She accepts them with a smile, then makes her suffer the consequences on the spot and humiliate herself!

Empress Cao applies pressure in silence? She fires back until the empress is speechless and seizes the initiative!

The emperor tries to test her? She answers with a cup of plain tea, calm and unyielding!

For the first time, the Son of Heaven gets a taste of what it's like to be treated like a person. He can't get her out of his mind and dotes on her with all his heart!

So what if she has no family connections or peerless beauty?

When the tea pattern burns, fortune and misfortune are revealed. When the tea is brewed, danger is foreseen!

From the lowest-ranking Talented Lady, she fights her way up to the Consort who rules the imperial harem, then rises to the throne as the regent empress dowager!

Whoever blocks her way? Kill them! Whoever plots against her? Let their schemes backfire!

The emperor dotes on her like she's the whole world, while the cold-faced power minister would give his life for her!

However many attacks come her way, she turns tea patterns into blades and schemes into shields, batting them all right back!

"Your Majesty, I've been playing dead for so long, I've forgotten what it feels like to have a heartbeat."

The emperor pins her onto the dragon throne. "I'll cherish you until you come back to life! This empire is yours to play with!"

No convoluted schemes! Nonstop thrills and satisfaction!

With her tea-pattern powers and ruthless cunning, this orphan girl cuts her way through the harem and takes control of the realm!

Who dares object? Bring it on!
