The Great Song dynasty has a saying: "No famous mountains, great rivers, or counties in the imperial capital region may be granted as fiefs." Yet Xie Huayu was given the title of Jian'an of the capital from the moment she was born. People said she was the emperor's most beloved princess. Though not born of the empress, she enjoyed the empress's status and was truly heaven's favored daughter.
But beneath this glory, no one knew that the merciless emperor had long since woven a fine net, one called power.
And no one could escape this net alive.
Su Qingyue woke up one day to find herself transmigrated into the world she had written. A voice told her she could choose a character and enter the world, so she chose Xie Huayu, whose fate was sealed from the start.
She wanted to find out whether this princess, who was doomed to die, could blossom into something different in the face of despair.
But from the moment she arrived, she was already caught in a dead end. All it would take was someone getting hold of even the tiniest clue, and even if all they pulled out was a corner of her clothing, it would be enough to cost her life.
So she had no choice but to silence them.
But once you start doing something like that, it seems impossible to stop.
She tried to escape this place. She didn't want to become an executioner with blood on her hands, but then she met the heroine of her story.
The flower of hope for a nation, forged through the many hardships Su Qingyue had written for her, was now facing the faintest chance of survival and choosing a shamefully lowly way to perish together with her enemies.
She saw the supporting female character, who bore a blood feud and was in just as dire a position, reach out to help the heroine in this desperate gamble.
For a time, the heroine and supporting female character became targets of everyone's hatred.
Su Qingyue thought it over.
Fine. Since her hands were already stained with blood, she might as well make them redder, red enough to seize power firmly in her grasp.
Reading Guide:
1. A strong female lead story, with the male lead mostly there for decoration.
2. The heroine is the sort who takes revenge for every slight. Power always comes first. Don't read if you can't accept that.
3. I'm returning to an old line of work and using this to get back into practice. This version has already been revised eight hundred times and is what's left after countless drafts, but since it's been so long since I last wrote, there are indeed many problems. I'm reviewing them one by one, so please go easy on the criticism. Thank you.
Theme: Ambition has never been a derogatory word.
