[Difficult heroine + reborn revenge + rise through palace intrigue + taming a scheming emperor + abolishing the six palaces]
In her previous life, Shen Ruo was her legitimate elder sister's shadow.
Her sister couldn't bear children, so Shen Ruo was used as a surrogate. When her sister wanted to secure the emperor's favor, Shen Ruo was sent to his bed in her place.
On the very day Shen Ruo gave birth to a prince, her sister sent her to her death with a cup of poisoned wine.
"Little sister, your job is done."
Reborn, Shen Ruo can only laugh.
A job? Her job is to turn the imperial harem upside down and send her sister tumbling from the clouds into the mud.
The entire harem knows that Noble Lady Shen is the biggest troublemaker.
Today she steals the Noble Consort's favor, tomorrow she flips Consort Shu's table, and the day after she dares to sulk at the emperor and refuse to attend court.
Everyone says she won't last three episodes, yet she becomes more glorious with every one.
The notoriously cruel emperor initially gets a headache every day: "How did My harem end up with such a troublemaker?"
Then he indulges her every day: "Keep making trouble. I'll cover for you."
And later, he dismisses the six palaces and keeps only her.
The emperor pinches her cheek, his voice both dangerous and doting: "Shen Ruo, you've got me wrapped around your finger. Satisfied?"
She smiles radiantly. "More or less."
Good-looking (๑• . •๑)
The pace is quite fast, and from the beginning it felt like an old married couple sharing a hahahahaha.
