Shen Weiwan entered the palace in a sedan chair, thinking she was simply moving somewhere new. It didn't take long to discover that there wasn't a single good person in the inner palace: schemes lurked everywhere, and every step could be deadly. She stopped pretending to be harmless and began fighting back, going from an invisible nobody everyone could manipulate to someone who met every trick head-on and showed no mercy. While others played mind games, she risked her life. She fought her way up from the bottom and claimed the phoenix throne, becoming an empress no one dared to cross.
