   In this book, the heroine relied on nonsense to survive in a large-scale palace power plot drama, and her skills in making up scripts on the spot shocked the entire capital. The civil and military officials in the court not only expected her to tell vivid gossips in court, but also feared that they would be the protagonist of her gossips. There is a scene where the heroine shed blood in the court to identify her relatives and more than 20 fathers in order to get rid of a frame-up for the imperial concubine. You think her sexy act is good or not? Until now, I haven't figured out who is behind the scenes. It feels like it's anyone.
