[The Domineering Side] She is the daughter of a companion maid to the Queen of Qinyang. Ever since she was born, the harem of Qinyang has never known peace. A bridal attendant? On their wedding night, he sends away the bride he was meant to marry, then scoops her up and carries her into the bridal chamber! “I’m warning you, I’ll poison your food!” She grabs his collar and threatens him fiercely. “My beloved consort wants to live and die with me. I’m deeply touched.” He reaches out elegantly and flicks her sash loose... [The Sweet, Doting Side] He is domineering and devious, but with her, he is a tender-hearted husband. She chokes on a pastry. “Slow down...” He thoughtfully pours her a cup of tea. She gets tired writing out recipes. “Take a break...” He massages her temples. Someone provokes her. He gently takes the kitchen knife from her hand and gives her a bottle of deadly poison. “My beloved consort, use this. It’s less work.” But having only him on her side isn’t enough in a chaotic harem. She has to stand up for herself, too! The queen, consorts, and companion maids are up to no good? Then hit back.

[The Legendary Little Scene] “Your Majesty, Consort Shu cooked the Queen’s dog!” “Then she cooked it. It’s not the first time.” “Your Majesty, Consort Shu stewed the Empress Dowager’s pigeons!” “Then she stewed them. They’ll do her good.” “Your Majesty...” “Then she ate them. Next time, don’t bother me with such trivial things... What did you say? Consort Shu did what to the Seventh Prince?!” A gust of wind swept through as the emperor dashed out in a fluster. Fifteen minutes later, he saw that Qin Wuyi was merely sitting across from a gentleman, having tea like a proper lady. He smiled in satisfaction, and suddenly all was bright and springlike. She is simply too outstanding, and far too many wolves are drawn to her! Ren Guangbai: “I’m handsome, rich, and everything I own is yours. You can have me, too! Ah, how embarrassing...” Ye Feishuang: “The master of the greatest manor in the land, a dashing swordsman who’ll protect you and keep admirers at bay!” Zhan Beilie: “The national preceptor of Tianli, sinister and unpredictable, swinging his snake staff to slaughter the wildflowers swarming around you!” The emperor is furious, and the consequences are dire! He promptly battles with a certain Wuyi for three hundred rounds! Three years later, a chubby little dumpling munches on a candied hawthorn skewer and looks disdainfully at those weird uncles. “Father really is clever. He made sure the deed was done first. No matter how long the line gets, they don’t stand a chance!” [The growth story of a lively heroine, and the tale of a devious emperor racking his brains to keep other men away.
