Rong Jianing is the granddaughter of a duke, but only the daughter of a concubine-born son of the duke. Outsiders say her family is nothing but nouveau riche, and even her own clan looks down on her for her detestable origins.
When she was born, a mad fortune-teller said she was born under an ill omen and would rule the world after bringing about the deaths of six emperors. Her family only half believed him, but in the end they sent her to the countryside, pretending she had never been born.
In this chaotic age, the powerful were busy scheming against one another. No one imagined that their nightmare was slowly growing up in a remote village.
At six, a peasant woman sold Rong Jianing to a trafficker. She was rescued on the way and adopted by the wife of the leader of a small martial arts sect. She learned martial arts in the mountains and met the love she yearned for but could never have, as well as a genius whose talent rivaled that of the emperor's tutor.
At ten, her birth mother suddenly rose to favor, and her father brought Rong Jianing home and arranged a marriage for her that looked promising on the surface. Unfortunately, her fiance suddenly struck it rich and came to break off the engagement. Rong Jianing was once again cast aside...
If the path of an ordinary official's daughter is closed to me, then I'll seize the path to power!
And so Rong Jianing became the regent's secret assassin, rising step by step into the public eye. She became a warlord ruling over her own territory, a power behind the throne who controlled the emperor, and eventually the ruler of all under heaven.
Notes:
1. A female-led historical drama, centered on the heroine's rise through the ranks. The story combines political intrigue, war, palace intrigue, household drama, and romance.
2. At its core, this is a story about victory and defeat, love and hate. Most characters are realistic, and care more about their careers than romance.
3. No one is perfect. There are no flawless characters, and their values do not necessarily reflect the author's.
4. A little wish-fulfillment, and not just for the heroine. Other characters shine just as brightly.
5. An alternate setting with characters loosely based on historical figures. Please don't read too much into it.
