The Voluptuous Cousin Enters the Palace, and Tames the Tyrant into a Puppy

Her entire loyal family was falsely accused and executed. She lay low for sixteen years, bloodied but unbowed, then entered the game beneath a phoenix crown as the empress dowager’s niece.

Upon entering the palace, an imperial decree from the empress dowager immediately elevated her to a third-rank noble consort and gave her a dowry of 120,000 taels of silver, shattering two centuries of founding-era tradition in the Great Yan Dynasty!

Emperor Jingyuan had planned to tame his arrogant cousin in the Cold Palace. Little did he know she had mastered the ultimate arts of persuasion: she bribed the Six Bureaus with money, verbally crushed the newly favored Worthy Consort, and used a push-and-pull strategy to make the cold-hearted emperor pound on her palace doors in the middle of the night.

But just as she turned the tables, tamed the emperor, and took charge of the harem, she discovered that the mastermind behind the bloody massacre years ago was the chief grand secretary, the man the emperor trusted most.

How will she carve a path through the imperial court in this game?
