    The harem is in the morning, and the undercurrent is turbulent! The newly favored Xiao Changzai arrived belatedly, and the domineering Concubine Chen made her final appearance, speaking with swords and swords. The queen was sitting on the phoenix throne, smiling, but her eyes were unfathomable. When Concubine Chen used Xiao Changzai's unintentional words to accuse her of "contempting your Majesty", the concubines remained silent and Xiao Changzai trembled. The queen's seemingly resounding words actually pushed Xiao Changzai deeper into Concubine Chen's jealousy. She used her strength to fight with clever methods! But in the center of this storm, only Song Zhao remained as silent as dust. She did not participate in the discussion, did not show her emotions, and only quietly locked her clear eyes on the queen's face. She accurately captured the queen's "cold smile" and instantly understood the queen's intention to provoke Concubine Chen and kill someone with a borrowed knife! Living in the whirlpool of the deep palace, Song Zhao knew that showing his sharp edge was the way to death. She lowered her eyebrows and showed weakness by "playing the pipa", hiding all her intelligence and vigilance deeply. She watched the concubines' overt and covert fights with cold eyes, and cautiously moved her position amid the intrigues of the Queen and Concubine Chen. She is not a person in the play, but she is the most sober spectator; she does not strive for temporary favor, but she knows how to survive. See how the heroine Song Zhao hides her sharp edge, and listens to the thunder in the silent place in the deep palace where murder is everywhere!

    This article is absolutely beautiful!! The protagonist of the story is not a powerful noblewoman from the beginning, but starts from a low position. Under the iron law of "mother is more valuable than son", she has to deal with the open and secret attacks of other concubines, and balance the complicated relationship with the emperor. She knew very well that heirs were the foundation of the harem and a bargaining chip for power - but this was by no means easy. From the cautious pursuit of a child, to the apprehension during pregnancy, to the step-by-step planning after giving birth, every step is full of calculation and forbearance, and also hides the helplessness that cannot be controlled. The most fascinating thing in the book is the delicate depiction of the logic of survival in the harem. There is no brainless "golden finger", only a realistic game: how to show just the right amount of weakness and intelligence in front of the emperor? How to protect yourself and your children from other concubines? How to take advantage of the descendants to quietly win over forces and attack opponents? Every choice made by the protagonist accurately strikes the balance between "survival" and "ambition", allowing readers to feel the cruelty and wisdom of survival in the deep palace in the exciting plot.

    This book is absolutely beautiful!! The protagonist of the story is not the chosen one with her own halo. When she first entered the palace, she was just an inconspicuous little mistress with no prominent family background and no extraordinary means. Her only "capital" may be her sincerity, which was a bit clumsy in the harem. But it was this unintentional freshness that accidentally broke into the emperor's seemingly indifferent heart. From being ridiculed for her first clumsy greeting, to being missed for the cup of hot tea handed to her on a cold night, her path to "promotion" began with an inadvertent heartbeat, but it didn't end with the emperor's whim.
