Ascending the Phoenix Terrace

Pure palace intrigue. The female lead focuses entirely on her career.

In the depths of the palace, there is no shortage of wronged souls, least of all among the palace maids.

Yao Heng never believed in fate and never accepted it.

Above a palace maid was a consort, above a consort was the empress, and above the empress was the empress dowager!

When His Majesty first saw her, she was thin and pale, so pitiful she made one's heart ache.

"What a poor thing."

In just one year, she went from a palace maid on the brink of death to a Fifth-Rank Talented Lady.

The consorts fought for survival, resources, and their families.

From the very beginning, she was after power.

She was going to climb, one step at a time, all the way to the top.

She feared death. She was weak. She was a rootless duckweed.

She could only depend on the ruler to survive.

Her eyes were full of her ruler.

She was also the ruler's most prized student and weapon.

Of course, she was only acting.

A gentle blade, each cut a death sentence.

Reader's Guide:

1. A scheming, black-hearted actress of a female lead. She is no good person.

2. The emperor doesn't dote exclusively on her. There's no angst, and the female lead only cares about her career.

4. The female lead doesn't have children. She focuses on palace intrigue, accumulating power, and staying healthy.
