[Clear-Headed, Flirtatious Beauty vs. Cunning Old Fox]
Fu Rong is a fixture in the Cold Palace. Her life motto: Keep your head down and survive!
To save her grandmother, she decides to pull off something big!
Her target: Shen Zhuoqing, the powerful Director of the Eastern Depot.
So she digs out the jade thumb ring hidden at the bottom of her trunk and puts it on. She decides to take a gamble!
The abandoned consort of the Cold Palace instantly transforms into a “down-on-her-luck palace maid” and launches her “staged accident” scheme!
Shen Zhuoqing: My benefactor becomes my companion? Interesting. She wants money? No problem. She has no ulterior motives? That’s a little... annoying.
But the moment he sees those big, watery eyes, all the gloom in his heart vanishes.
Gold and silver, power and influence? You can have them!
Family troubles? I’ll take care of them!
The Eastern Depot’s influence? Use it!
Fu Rong: Need someone to help you save face? I’ll arrange it right away! Palace intrigue? Piece of cake!
She even has time to flirt with this seemingly ascetic Director.
With the Eastern Depot’s reputation behind her, she face-slaps cannon fodder at every turn, outsmarts the consorts, and rises from a pitiful nobody in the Cold Palace to the little tyrant of the inner palace.
When conspiracy strikes, she no longer hides beneath his wings. Instead, she joins the game and fights alongside him!
Once everything has settled, Fu Rong pokes the Director. “Hey, have you finished repaying me for saving your life?”
Shen Zhuoqing bends down, his breathing unsteady. “Repaying you? This is only the beginning, my Empress...”
