A Transmigrated Concubine's Daughter Seizes Power at Court, and the Emperor Bows in Submission

Modern historian Shen Zhaoning awakens in the body of the daughter of a disgraced consort in Northern Yan. Trapped in the Cold Palace, she turns the tide between life and death with a thousand years’ worth of political wisdom. She uses legal reforms to undermine the great clans and wins the people’s hearts by founding a women’s academy. Step by step, she brings Emperor Xiao Jingheng to her side, willing to wield the sword for her. Cui Minglan, the Grand Tutor’s daughter, secretly helps her investigate corruption to restore her family’s fortunes. Imperial guard Lu Yunshu bears an old grudge, yet defies the emperor’s orders for her. When Noble Consort Pei’s poisonous incense meets an ancient remedy she has recreated, the secret of Nanny Jiang’s long-buried past comes to light: she is not the daughter of a disgraced consort, but a true phoenix whose bloodline was concealed.
