When Qingning was little, her mother often held her in her arms and softly said, “Little girl, you were born into the wrong body. You shouldn’t have come from my womb.” Qingning didn’t understand. Her mother was beautiful and radiant, and the empress of the realm. As the emperor’s legitimate daughter, she was the most exalted girl in the world. Only later did she learn that on the day she was born, the emperor’s favorite concubine had given birth to a stillborn baby boy. From that day on, her mother’s fate was sealed. Her mother had been right. The most exalted place in the world was also the most treacherous. One careless mistake, and you could be swallowed whole. At first, Qingning only wanted a little power, enough to protect her life. Later, after fighting her way forward, she began to want more and more. “When will Your Highness finally be satisfied?” someone asked lazily, removing the gold hairpin from her hair as he watched her long locks fall across the pillow. His manner was gentle and detached. She lay in his arms and smiled. “You tell me.” At the pinnacle of the palace, we scheme against each other, and we also flirt beneath the rain and clouds. * The heroine is no saint.
