[Cool, resilient princess x gentle, refined chief minister]
Princess Mingyi is the most beautiful woman in the empire and the emperor's eldest legitimate daughter, yet she is a cool beauty who keeps strangers at a distance.
Legend has it that when she was born, in the bitter chill of early spring, the Taiye Pool was filled with blooming lotuses, an auspicious sign for the Great Zhou dynasty.
Only she knows how precarious life is within the palace walls, under the watchful eyes of the whole world.
The empress often sighs, "Mingyi, how wonderful it would be if you were a man."
If she were a man, she could inherit the throne and give her mother peace of mind.
So what if she is a woman? Women can be learned and courteous, loving and loyal, self-respecting and strong, and live with dignity!

[Couple] [Gentle, gracious empress x scheming regent prince, her uncle]
On the day Xiao Wan was brought into the palace to become empress, the first person she saw when she lifted her veil was not her imperial husband.
It was Xie Heng, the treacherous powerbroker feared by all, the regent prince.
The emperor is frail and foolish, with little time left. Xie Heng governs as regent in his capacity as the emperor's uncle.
By imperial decree, the daughter of the current chief minister is made empress, to bring the emperor good fortune through a celebratory wedding.
Thus Xiao Wan, an overlooked concubine-born daughter with no one in her family to care about her, is pushed forward to become this convenient empress.
The court is beset by internal strife and external threats, and the realm teeters on the brink of chaos.
Xiao Wan: What is your wish, Uncle?
Xie Heng: If there is another life, I hope we won't meet again in a troubled age...
Theme: Women, too, should leave their names in the history books!
That's why it's called the Illustrated Book of Palace Women. The Wife does not focus on the love affairs of the protagonists with a lot of words. Instead, it looks at the harem and vividly depicts the situation and livelihood of women in the ancient palace. Their lives were like duckweeds. In order to survive, they would do whatever it takes to climb high branches, swinging up and down. I really love this article, come on, ma'am (???_??)?
The women in the palace were too helpless and sad. The surface of flowers is full of flowers, but the inside is riddled with holes.
Alas... The palace really lost too many people
I really like this gentleman Xiao Lu! Come on, madam!
Queen Luo is also a pitiful person
Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers

Spread the flowers Spread the flowers Spread the flowers
