“I, Lian Yinnan, shall rule the world.”
-
[Long Blurb]
After fourteen years away from Chang'an, a daughter of the Lian family returns to the capital.
Her figure is graceful, her face beautiful.
When people learn that she has been chosen as a consort, they all pity her.
The Son of Heaven is cruel and terrifying, and delights in tormenting people.
Looking at the beauty, everyone thinks: She probably won't last seven days.
But after seven days, a month, a year, and ten years, the Lian girl is still alive, and has become the emperor's favorite.
And in the long nights when they are alone together, only Lian Yinnan knows
how that emperor, with utter contempt, allowed her to keep living.
[Reading Guide]
· An alternate history with a mishmash of elements. Don't nitpick the historical details.
· Court intrigue and palace intrigue unfold on two interwoven fronts. No one is a good person.
· A power-hungry, ambitious and wicked woman X Emperor Qingzong, ruthless and devoted only to wicked women. Eight-year age gap. This is sort of a prequel to The Grand Princess, but mainly focuses on the Lian emperor and Qingzong. The main characters from the previous story may appear, but not often.
