"My sister is not a disaster, and we are not orphans left to be slaughtered. We must control our own destiny." "These are not enough! Far from enough!"
From the moment when Aunt Bao gave birth to Ruan Yi and died of a hemorrhage, the Yubao Courtyard became the most deserted place in the Shangshu Mansion. The former honor and favor no longer existed. The two sisters survived in a desperate situation, saved themselves in adversity, and relied on scheming to move the eldest lady and other old enemies to avenge their mother. Hypocrites, evildoers, and heartless people will not all end well. Amid the veils of hypocrisy, the two sisters are of the same mind and have the same roots. They do not seek to escape the mire and remain untainted, but seek to be unyielding and coexist and prosper together.
"We don't just want these." Every lotus-picking dance is a carefully designed ambition. Their desire for power led them to extend their power to the palace. The powerful and ruthless prince Shen Chongxian, the down-and-out scheming prince Zhao Yunwen, their adopted brother Ruan Shangquan, and the important ministers of the court... Are all the cornerstones of the Ruan sisters' pursuit of power and status. Perhaps there is tenderness hidden in the cold calculation. Perhaps they can also be redeemed by true love and find a strong arm in a devouring environment.
How about the concubine? What about orphans? There is still a shining corner of our Ruan sisters in this world!
Intent: The two sisters grow together and use tricks and scheming to seek revenge and seize power.
