After staying up all night to watch Empresses in the Palace for the tenth time, Su Wanqing didn’t even get a chance to post a snarky comment before she plunged headfirst into the TV.
When she opened her eyes again, a dignified, regal face looked back at her from a bronze mirror. She was Empress Yixiu, and the first selection of palace consorts was only a month away.
As a devoted fan of Empresses in the Palace, Su Wanqing knew exactly what would happen: Yixiu would steadily lose ground in the palace power struggle, until Zhen Huan finally brought her down and she was confined for the rest of her life. Now, though, she had the chance to rewrite it all.
Concubine Hua is in favor, Consort Duan is frail, and Consort Jing has yet to be promoted. Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and Shen Meizhuang have not yet entered the palace. On the first and fifteenth of every month, the emperor visits the empress’s chambers in accordance with tradition. These two days are the only leverage she has to change her fate.
She wins An Lingrong over in advance, secretly allies with Consort Duan, recommends that Consort Jing be promoted to consort, and even plants her own pieces at court. As the selection begins and new consorts enter the palace, a bloodless war quietly breaks out.
Can a transmigrator who knows the entire plot turn the tables in the treacherous palace? When Yongzheng discovers that the soul of the woman beside him has long since been replaced, and Zhen Huan presses forward with the aura of the heroine, how will Yixiu secure her place on the phoenix throne and have the last laugh?
This is a story about a “villain” defying fate and changing her destiny. No golden finger, only foresight and careful planning at every turn.
I like it. I like it when I see Zhen Huan Chuan unable to walk😍
