I just wanted to be an ordinary palace servant, guarding a cold courtyard and living a stable life.
But deep in the palace, there is no control over the intrigues.
The late emperor passed away suddenly, and the queen mother tearfully entrusted the two-year-old prince to me.
In the past ten years, I have endured the hardships of the world by myself, defended him from all the hidden arrows in the palace, and raised him from an ignorant child to a ninety-five-year-old man.
I thought this was a nurturing favor, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a "grabbing situation."
When the old emperor returned and the turmoil in the court arose again, I wanted to stay away, but I found that the emperor I raised had a romantic interest in me and insisted on including me in the harem and canonizing me as his concubine.
I raised him up and regarded him as my son, and I refused to give in to him in any way. If she feels unhappy, she will act recklessly in the harem. If her mood is not in her favor, she will have abortions and kill people at will.
But he never cared about my ridiculous excesses.
So what if hundreds of officials reviled you? So what if a thousand people point it out?
He was not afraid of criticism from all over the world, and devoted all his power and preference to me. He did not care about right or wrong, and did everything he could to protect me.
In the deep palace, I am both a strict father and a loving mother.
Ten years of hard work, once crowned,
I thought my half-life of suffering was over,
Unexpectedly, the emperor who was raised by his own hands has long been obsessed with me.
This is my fate with the emperor:
I shielded him from all the wind and frost in the world,
He showed all favors to me.
Even though I am ridiculous and causing trouble and being criticized by the whole world, he still prefers me alone and never leaves me.
Intent: Living in a troubled world, it is hard to tell what is right or wrong. The heroine gave up on love and was willing to bear the infamy of the ages and join in the intrigues. She used her body as a sword to stabilize the imperial power and protect the country. She left her merits and demerits in her life to be calmly commented by future generations.
