Though Shang Miaoyi came from humble beginnings, she considered herself extraordinary.

She entered the palace as a maid and, thanks to her beauty, became the Crown Prince's concubine with hardly any effort.

Later, she realized the Crown Prince had lost his power. To avoid going down with him, she took the initiative to pass information to Prince Jin, Xiao Jingchen.

The Crown Prince was deposed.

Xiao Jingchen ascended the throne, and he had long been interested in Shang Miaoyi.

When the Crown Prince's wife and concubines were implicated, Shang Miaoyi alone escaped unscathed.

After the mourning period ended, Shang Miaoyi was made a Noble Concubine.

She was naturally spoiled and overbearing, and with the emperor's exclusive favor, she practically ruled the harem.

If someone displeased her, she'd slap them!

The imperial concubines complained bitterly.

Xiao Jingchen turned a deaf ear. Instead, he said with concern, "If this happens again, just order the servants to do it. Don't hurt your hands."

In Xiao Jingchen's eyes, Shang Miaoyi was clever and charming, sweet and adorable. She only threw a little tantrum now and then, and he was happy to guide her.

But as time passed and his power grew, the emperor finally realized that, after all these years of love, he was the only one who had truly fallen for it.

He was furious and helpless.

He ruled the world, yet he couldn't win the heart of the woman before him. He asked humbly, "Miaomiao, did you ever like me even a little?"

"Just a little..."
