Beaten to Death: Reborn, the Empress Wins the Favor of the Entire Harem

The Fu family had two daughters. The elder was as serene as a chrysanthemum, cool and elegant, and had been the emperor’s childhood sweetheart, enjoying his every favor. But after five years without a child, her stepsister was brought into the palace to bear a child for her… In her past life, Fu Hanying, the stepsister, was nothing more than a womb for her older sister. Two months after entering the palace, Consort Rong had her crippled with the “Red Rod” and thrown into the Cold Palace. Her sister took care to send embroidered handkerchiefs to the imperial physicians, hairpins to the guards, and copied Buddhist scriptures for the State Preceptor, yet never thought to visit her sister in the Cold Palace. Dragging her broken leg, Fu Hanying begged her for help. Her sister replied coolly, “Even in the Cold Palace, you should maintain your dignity. I’ll give you a box of rouge. Take it back with you.” Fu Hanying was left crippled. Reborn, Fu Hanying finally understood: nothing mattered more than her own wealth and glory, not sisterhood, romance, motherhood, or family. As an imperial consort, winning favor, outmaneuvering her rivals, wearing the phoenix robe, and reigning supreme over the harem were what she wanted. She abandoned her family and cast aside love. Her heart and soul belonged to the present Emperor Yuanzhao. Emperor Yuanzhao was a man of “integrity,” which really meant that his integrity was shattered everywhere. He was so complicated that he was hard to describe. Fortunately, Fu Hanying knew just how to handle him! It took her twenty years to rise from an insignificant “womb” to become the empress who ruled alongside the emperor. And wealth and glory never let her down.
