Suzaku Ascends to the Clouds

Cui Lingwei, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs, entered the palace not for the favor of the king, but just to escape the destined fate of a wealthy family.

From the unknown female history clerk to the Shang Gong in charge of the Sixth Palace, every step she takes is on the edge of a knife. ——She wants to leave her own name in history in this world of men's authority.
