    This book is really good. The protagonist is the Emperor's cousin (fake, no blood relation). Her biological father was General Xu, a renowned general who died in battle. She was then adopted by the Duke and his wife, who had only one daughter, Ayu, whom they doted on. Ayu is the Empress Dowager's niece, and with the Empress Dowager's backing, she is also greatly favored by the Empress Dowager. Upon entering the palace, she was immediately made a Noble Consort, enjoying immense favor. Not long after, she was promoted to Zhaoyi, given the title Chen, and then, just three months later, to Consort Chen, wielding real power within the palace. Ayu is intelligent, shrewd, arrogant, vengeful, and domineering, never tolerating the slightest injustice! In short, it's exhilarating!

The male lead was purely subservient, and he had raised the female lead since childhood. Moreover, it was a harem novel where both the male and female leads were truly virgins!
