From the moment she knew that she was selected by Xiao Jingheng to enter the palace as a concubine, her goal was very clear: "I entered the palace to be a queen, otherwise what would I do? Cook for others?" So as soon as she entered the palace, she relied on her beauty and wisdom to win the king's heart step by step, and manipulate the Sixth Palace in the palm of her hand. Anyway, there is nothing a woman in the harem cannot do without fighting for her family and her own honor. In this case, what she has to do is to strike first, live her life as a villain, defeat everyone, and successfully ascend to the throne. ★In the beginning, Emperor Xiao Jingheng doted on Song Zhao just because of her face that was the best in the harem. When concubines are favored, they often become arrogant, but Song Zhao is different. Not only did she not compete for favors, she also always advised Xiao Jingheng to stay in the same place and visit other concubines more often. His usual attitude towards him is also perfunctory to the naked eye. This made Xiao Jingheng suspicious and felt that Song Zhao was not sincere to him. The emperor's innate desire to conquer made him secretly determined to completely win over this woman: not only her person, but also her heart. The process of conquering Song Zhao was like climbing the highest mountain in the world. But Xiao Jingheng never thought that once he climbed Song Zhao mountain, he would climb it willingly for a lifetime. [No passing through the book, no rebirth, no golden finger]
