The Empress Dowager, a young stepmother, toys with beautiful palace maids. Cheng Yuan transmigrates into the body of a maid named Dieyi. Afraid to make a move, she is taken by the Empress Dowager once before she learns from the other maids that she is the Empress Dowager's favorite.
Being favored means nothing more than being summoned to the bedchamber more often.
The Empress Dowager doesn't like heart-to-heart talks. Most of the time, she gets up as soon as they finish having sex. She's a cold, haughty beauty, but she has a heart filled with repressed, feverish passion. She favors Dieyi because of the mole between her brows. The beloved concubine of the newly enthroned emperor, Fu Yao, has the same vermilion mole between her brows, vivid as fresh blood.
(The Empress Dowager is the one on top at first, but later becomes the one on the bottom. Dieyi is the one on top!!)
The Empress Dowager is cool and haughty, high above everyone else. Dieyi is a seductive little demon, dark, vicious, and ruthless. Later, she tricks the Empress Dowager into leaving the palace.
"I'm going to drag you down to this lowly place, tear down your proud head, and make you submit beneath me!"
That's right, it's a substitute trope, and neither of them is sexually inexperienced. Enter at your own risk.
P.S. Dieyi is a little twisted, but the author still loves her, sob.
[A very old idea I had, probably around the time I first started writing Jia Jia. The TV drama The Legend of Fuyao hadn't aired yet. When I suddenly heard the name Fuyao, it seemed strangely familiar. Later, when I opened this idea, I realized it was the name of a supporting female character in my story, lol.
When I start writing this, I'll change the supporting character's name. I haven't decided what to use yet, so if you have any good suggestions, leave them in the comments.]
