After My Entire Family Was Sentenced to Death, I Entered the Palace to Dote on and Destroy My Ex-Husband

In her previous life, Gu Qingshu laid a path with bones and plotted every move, helping Xiao Yuqi ascend the throne.

She thought she would be rewarded with a loving marriage, but instead received an imperial decree ordering the execution of her entire family and a cup of poison that would burn through her guts.

When she opens her eyes again, she is back at the palace banquet where Xiao Yuqi is asking the emperor for her hand in marriage.

Looking at the scoundrel before her, acting so deeply in love, Gu Qingshu turns and bows her head. "I have long admired His Majesty. I wish to remain by his side."

The whole hall erupts. Yesterday's fiancée is today's imperial mother consort.

Everyone says the Gu girl is greedy for wealth and status. Only she knows this is a grand game of strategy in which there can be no survivors on the other side.

She plots at every turn, seduces the emperor with her charms, and raises the ambitious prince into a useless wastrel who cares only for pleasure and his mother's protection.

She clears his political rivals, plots his path to the position of heir, raises him high, and pushes him onto the supreme throne.

On his enthronement day, the seas are calm and the people prosper.

In the robes of an empress dowager, she smiles like a flower and personally serves him the poisoned wine that is six years overdue.

"My son, let this cup celebrate your rule over all under heaven. And let it... pay tribute to the three hundred souls of my Gu family."
