Zhong Jinxiu grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Born into a marquis's family, she was adopted as the Empress's goddaughter and made Princess Shuning, a woman beyond anyone's reach.
She thought she would spend her whole life acting as imperiously as she pleased, but circumstances suddenly changed. The designated Crown Prince died, and the new emperor was her old enemy.
The first decree the new emperor issued for the imperial harem stripped her of her title and expelled her from the palace.
The treasured daughter of a noble family became a commoner. Her betrothal was taken away, noble ladies ostracized her, and countless people waited to see her make a fool of herself.
Just as everyone thought she would fall into the mire, another imperial decree arrived, returning her to the heights of power.
Content warning: 1. The male lead is petty and vindictive. The female lead has a grudge against him, so he takes revenge on her early in the story. If you only want sweet romance from the start, this may not be for you.
2. If you can't accept that, please criticize the male lead as harshly as you like, but don't take it out on the author. Thank you.

This father is such a liability, I'm speechless. He doesn't even think things through! Why would the female lead only poison the unborn child? Of course, she should have poisoned the baby to death! Even if the child were born, it would have no status or identity, and wouldn't threaten the female lead and her brother's position.
Come on(???_??)?
It looks good, but it's a bit short!
An inflatable fathead fish, hahaha!
Seeing the chapters without VIP access, I thought this story would be very long; it's surprisingly short.
It looks good, but it's too short!
I like this kind of thing, but it's a bit too short.
I thought it would have at least 50 chapters... It was too rushed.
This sudden ending... Ah, it feels like the drama just ended halfway through! Will there be an epilogue? *Sobs*
I'm completely not used to it. This is what it's like after watching it all the way to the end? I only watched it for the banter between the princess and the emperor, and that's all?
