From the moment she learned that she had been chosen by Xiao Jingheng to enter the palace as a concubine, her goal was very clear: "I enter the palace to become the empress, otherwise what am I? To cook for others?" So, upon entering the palace, she used her beauty and wisdom to carefully plan her way up, winning the emperor's heart and manipulating the six palaces at will. Anyway, in this harem, no woman is immune to competition for the sake of her family and her own honor. Since that's the case, what she has to do is strike first, live as a villain, defeat everyone, and successfully ascend to the throne. At first, Emperor Xiao Jingheng favored Song Zhao only because of her face, which was unparalleled in the harem. Favored concubines often become arrogant, but Song Zhao was different. Not only did she not vie for favor, but she also constantly advised Xiao Jingheng to distribute his affections more evenly among the other concubines. Her daily attitude towards him was visibly perfunctory. This made Xiao Jingheng suspicious, wondering if Song Zhao was truly sincere towards him. His innate imperial desire to conquer spurred him to secretly resolve to completely win this woman over.
