From Concubine in the Wen Household to Chancellor!

Lu Weian once thought she was the happiest person in the world.

Her parents loved each other, her sisters got along, she had the honor of studying under a great master of her era, and she had a refined, gentle sweetheart, pure as crystal. She should have had a peaceful, smooth life, full of joy and free from worry.

But when she was fourteen, everything changed.

She lost her name, her identity, and her family, and became a concubine of the current prime minister.

The prime minister wielded power over the court and dared to call himself the emperor's father. She had nothing, and could not even protect her family and friends.

The people who forced her into the Wen residence wanted her to bow her head and submit, to be their pawn and lackey, an object for them to manipulate.

But she refused.

Surrendering to fate was not for her. She would make them pay.

·

After three years of hardship, she escaped the status of concubine and rose to the ranks of the Nine Ministers, becoming famous throughout the realm.

The entire court knew she was the prime minister's most trusted disciple, a celebrated hero whose position was second to none, and whose influence was unmatched.

But that wasn't enough.

Decapitating her enemies and gaining honor and prestige weren't enough.

She also had to win.

·

Later, holding the sword bestowed upon her by the prime minister, she personally took the gold seal and purple ribbon that belonged to him.

At her side as she did so was the heir in whom the prime minister had placed his greatest hopes.

He had once demanded her loyalty. Now, bracing himself with his sword, he knelt before her and waited for her mercy.

Reader's guide:

1. This is a female lead's rise to power, with some heartbreak early on.

2. The plot comes first, and the romance develops alongside it. The heroine is a naturally rebellious, aggressive fighter who refuses to accept her fate. The male lead is a scheming beauty who's ruthless on the surface but sweet underneath, and an ambitious man. Happy ending.

3. The male lead is not the prime minister.
