The Graceful Concubine’s Makeup

Shen Qingqiong failed to become empress in her previous life. Given another chance, she still wants to rise above everyone else. She opens a music and dance house, secures grain routes, and raises a secret guard. In the end, she brings her former enemies to ruin, root and branch. But that still isn’t enough. She wants her family to prosper and enjoy a century of glory, so she rescues the young master who rose to prominence during the Three Princes' Rebellion in her previous life, hoping they can advance together. Jiang Qihuai is a concubine-born son burdened by the destruction of his clan. He lies low and bides his time, keeping his talents hidden as he waits to clear his clan's name. Everyone looks down on him, believing him mediocre and unworthy of trust. Only the cool, elegant young woman seeks him out. “A true man isn’t held back by his birth. I believe you have what it takes to govern the world. Will you fight your way to a better future?” A seed takes root in Jiang Qihuai’s heart. One day, it will grow into a towering tree, sheltering her from every storm for the rest of their lives.
