[Harem Sect Saintess + 1vN + All Devoted]
Shen Yunxian, the Harem Sect's saintess, is forced to take her sister's place and marry into the imperial palace. The emperor is gravely ill, and rumors say his consorts will be buried with him.
She sets her sights on the Regent, who holds the real power, and uses the Harem Sect's secret cultivation manual to practice dual cultivation with him. They get along like a fish in water.
Fu Huaiyuan usurps the throne and painstakingly plots to seat her on the throne as a princess with power over the empire.
The empire's talented scholars, all peerlessly handsome, willingly write poems and sing her praises. In a private room at the Ningxiang Tower, they plead with tearful eyes: "Can't you stay?"
A young general fights on the battlefield and seizes the enemy nation's Heavenly Wolf Pearl, then kneels and offers it to her: "For the princess, I would die ten thousand times over."
Fu Huaiyuan washes his hands and makes her a meal: "If you want the empire, it's yours."
She fights for the chance to live, for power and status, never for anyone's true affection. Yet wherever she goes, they all follow.
