Zhen Huan won love, Meizhuang won righteousness, and Concubine Hua won anger.
And Shen Jingshu just wants to win.
The year she entered the palace, she was neither beautiful nor favored. She was just a mute sweeping up fallen leaves in the corner of Suiyuxuan.
Everyone said that she was like dust in the mire, not even worthy of contaminating the soles of Concubine Hua's shoes.
But they don't know——
When the Queen Mother suffered a stroke, she was the only one who tasted the medicine at her bedside;
When the queen dropped blood for a marriage test, she was the only one who could see through the entire chess game;
When the emperor was critically ill, she was the only one who held the secret decree not to establish a throne.
This is a war without smoke.
She does not compete for favor, children, or affection.
What she fights for is the power of life and death in the Forbidden City, and what she fights for is a sentence in the history books: "The Queen Mother lowers the curtain, and the world is ruled."
"Favor will expire and blood will betray you."
"Only the power above this throne is always loyal."
