Consort Wan (Ming Dynasty Time Travel)

Wan Zhen transmigrated into the Forbidden City as Wan Zhen'er, a powerless little palace maid.

The Ming Empire was still recovering from war, with turmoil looming on all sides.

The Crown Prince, Zhu Jianshen, had been demoted to the precarious Prince of Yi.

The Prince of Yi was confined in the murderous Western Inner Palace, with no hope of escape.

Maidservants in the Western Inner Palace kept dying suddenly, turning it into a graveyard that terrified them all.

In the third year of Jingtai, Wan Zhen was forced to serve the Prince of Yi in the Western Inner Palace.

The thirteen servants who had previously served the deposed Crown Prince had all died suddenly.

Everyone hoped the Prince of Yi would die, and she was no exception.

Five years of confinement in the cold palace, through bitter wind and rain.

The master and servant went from plotting against each other to relying on one another for survival.

When the palace coup finally came, Wan Zhen curled up in a corner of the cold palace, overjoyed.

She could hardly wait for the Prince of Yi to leave her behind.

But the Prince of Yi, who just wouldn't leave her alone, held out his hand with unwavering resolve. "Zhen'er, let's go."

The Prince of Yi was reinstated as Crown Prince, wading through mountains of corpses and seas of blood before ascending the throne as the Chenghua Emperor.

Wan Zhen thought she could retire after accomplishing her mission, leave the palace, and marry her childhood sweetheart, a Brocade Guard.

On their wedding night, the once-gentle young emperor completely dropped his mask.

He brazenly disregarded propriety and seized his subject's wife.

After ascending the throne, the first thing he did was force her to marry him...
