[Will start once there are enough saves~]
Yu Tang is the illegitimate daughter of the Assistant Prefect of Suzhou, and possesses peerless beauty.
Almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, cherry-red lips, and a willowy waist so slender it could be encircled by one hand.
Her snow-white skin glows with the moist radiance of the Jiangnan waterways. She moves like a willow in the breeze, and stands as still as a peony veiled in mist. And then there's her voice, so sweet it could melt into honey.
The servants in the residence privately say that not a single young woman in all of Suzhou can match even the beauty at the corners of Third Miss's eyes.
Yet Yu Tang's mother is worried. With her birth and beauty, and a kind-faced but cruel-hearted legitimate wife for a stepmother, Yu Tang seems destined to become a concubine.
Yu Tang, however, takes it all in stride. When the new emperor holds a selection of consorts, she is the first to press her fingerprint onto the application.
If she's going to be a concubine anyway, why not become the most exalted concubine in the land?
In the end, she rises from the lowest rank, a Lady, all the way to the empress, the most powerful woman in the realm.
A life free of worry, with everything going her way.
