The Scheming Consort Gets Her Way

Xiao Xibao is wonderful in every way: she can foresee events like a prophet, and her talent is dazzling. Her only flaw, perhaps, is that she was born starved of love. She transmigrates into the residence of the Minister of Rites, where her birth mother is the First Madam's maid. Her legitimate elder sister is deeply cunning, while her concubine-born elder sister is arrogant and willful. But in Xibao's eyes, they're both using tricks she's already seen through. From a lowly concubine-born daughter to the Crown Prince's favored concubine, she plots and schemes, helping a timid, naive prince step by step toward the most exalted position. Everyone wonders: Xiao was born a concubine's daughter and is merely pretty. How did she captivate the eldest prince? And why did the dull, ordinary eldest prince become so outstanding in just one year? Xibao only smiles and says nothing. "I can give you anything, Xibao. What do you want?" "In return, can you truly love me?" That alone, Your Highness, is beyond my power. Household intrigue + palace intrigue + court politics = the story of a shrewd, stunning heroine's rise to power Our motto: The hero conquers the realm, the heroine conquers the hero. Scheming for the realm hurts your love life. Most devoted servants are made that way by force. ↓ The author's cool little corner VIP notice Starting October 25, the story will go VIP from Chapter 26. Three chapters will be updated that day. No reprinting of any kind is permitted. All the glory goes to the handsome Yueyue and JJ, and to Gu Daniu, who reminded me to post this notice... The main story is complete. I really can't manage to write any bonus chapters. This was my first attempt at historical romance. Thank you all for your support along the way. Premise:
