The Story of Noble Consort Shujia

When Shiniang entered the palace, the whole household came to see her off. Looking at her uncle, father, and brothers kneeling at her feet, she gently raised a hand to stop them and sighed softly. "Don't worry. Take care." Then she climbed into the carriage with her maid and left. Over the next thirteen years, she rose from a low-ranking Selected Attendant to one of the four second-rank Consorts, enjoying the emperor's favor all the while. Her family also soared to prominence on the strength of her favor, becoming famous throughout the capital. As her beauty faded and the emperor's favor waned, only power could bring her comfort. From favored consort to Noble Consort with real authority over the inner palace, she spent eight years laying her plans, step by step, until she reached the pinnacle of power. The author, who admits she's terrible at writing blurbs, would like to say: this is really just the story of a girl who rose from a seventh-rank Selected Attendant to a first-rank Noble Consort. ~★~☆~★~☆~★~☆~★~☆~★~☆~★~☆~★~☆~★~☆~★~☆~ Xiaxia's next novel, please add it to your reading list!
