The Vile Woman Becomes Empress

"Miss, you are truly beautiful. I never imagined anyone in this world could be so exquisite." Her appearance was a shame carved into her for all eternity, proof that constantly reminded her of her origins in the pleasure quarters. The illegitimate daughter of a celebrated courtesan, twelve-year-old Ya'er was taken away and trained by the Grand Tutor of State, Yin Lingyan, simply because she had inherited seven or eight parts of her mother's breathtaking beauty. Her identity was secretly switched, and she was sent into the palace as a concubine-born daughter of a branch of the Yin family. Her mission was to stand against Noble Consort Rong, who ruled the imperial harem, and help secure the Yin family's position. She thought she had bewitched the emperor, who was rumored to be incompetent and lustful, but her identity was exposed on the very night she was summoned to his bed, and she was sentenced to death. She barely survived, only for the emperor to take her virginity by candlelight and confine her from then on. To outsiders, she was showered with favor, but in truth, it was all humiliation. It turned out the emperor had deceived the Yin family... Remain loyal to the Yin family and willingly serve as a pawn: death. Betray the Yin family and seek the emperor's protection: death. Who could have imagined that the daughter of a prostitute would, through her own intelligence and loyalty, ultimately become the mistress of the imperial harem? 1v1, with no physicians, princes, or assorted second and third male leads appearing. The emperor is extremely cunning and stays sharp throughout. He may seem a bit awful at first, but trust me, you'll fall in love with him.
