Looking for a Surrogate in the Exile Camp? I'll Enter the Palace and Wipe Out Your Clan

[Strong Female Lead + Palace Intrigue and Political Scheming + Black Lotus + Decisive and Ruthless + Ultimate Revenge]

The empress has no children, so she goes to the penal camp to select a breeding tool.

Xie Jingtang, the daughter of a disgraced minister, is forced to sign a life-and-death agreement promising that the mother will be eliminated once the child is born. Without hesitation, she drinks the potent fertility drug that will cause lasting damage to her body.

Everyone thinks she's just a lowly surrogate to be discarded once she's served her purpose.

But Xie Jingtang strokes her pregnant belly and smiles, radiant and alluring.

The empress wants to use her womb, so she'll use the empress's hand to kill every enemy who framed the Xie family!

On the day she gives birth, the empress orders her execution, but Xie Jingtang fakes her death and escapes.

Months later, she returns to the palace in triumph, disguised as an auspicious omen, and wins the emperor's favor once more.

From then on, the harem has a new peerless beauty, a demon concubine.

Every time she shows, a high-ranking official at court dies; every time she sheds a tear, a powerful clan is uprooted.

When she finally uncovers the mastermind behind the massacre of the Xie family, she discovers it was the emperor beside her all along.

Xie Jingtang toys with her solid-gold nail guards and looks coldly at the princes gathered before her. “The emperor is old. What would be wrong with letting my son take the throne for a while?”
