A top modern history student transmigrates and is thrown into the Cold Palace the moment she opens her eyes, where she is about to die an unjust death!
With a blade at her throat, the Palace Intrigue System binds itself to her: if she does not leave the Cold Palace within seven days, she will be erased at once!
To survive this desperate situation, she combines the System's skills with her advanced knowledge of history. A miraculous omen turns the tables, and she goes from discarded consort to low-ranking lady, stepping into a harem full of deadly schemes.
Noble Consort Lin is determined to destroy her, the harem is riddled with traps, and the System keeps tightening the noose, forcing her to compete for the emperor's favor and seize the phoenix throne. It even reveals a secret about the coming apocalypse: in three years, the realm will descend into chaos and the dynasty will fall!
She only wanted to keep her head down and survive, but unexpectedly meets a young man devoted to saving the nation through industry. She falls for him at first sight, and together they seek a way forward.
System warning: Stay away from this man, or face severe punishment!
She insists on defying fate. Keeping up a double life, she takes down treacherous consorts and climbs the ranks inside the palace, while aiding reform and building strength beyond its walls.
The flames of war spread across the chaotic realm, and the System reveals its ultimate sinister plan: kill the emperor, seize the throne, and claim power for herself!
Shen Qingci sneers: Whoever wants this prison of a phoenix throne can have it!
She abandons palace intrigue, breaks free of the System, brings down the old dynasty, and restores order to the realm!
She will not be the mistress of the harem or the emperor's favored consort. With her beloved at her side, she will build a new world atop the ruins and live as a peerless legend who commands her own destiny!
