The Cold Consort Won't Bend

Bai Qinghe was a modern career woman who unexpectedly transmigrated into the founding Duke's legitimate daughter in the Great Qi Dynasty, and became the beloved concubine of Emperor Xiao Chengyuan. Later, she was framed and accused of plotting against the imperial heir. Overnight, she fell out of favor and was banished to the Cold Palace, a discarded consort forgotten by everyone.

She looked gentle and graceful, with sorrow in her eyes, but beneath that appearance she was clever, resilient, calm, and decisive, with a proud spirit hidden within. She was no meek woman who would let others bully her. Trapped in the desperate circumstances of the Cold Palace, she refused to sink into despair. After awakening a survival System, she used its items and her own wits to plan every move. Only her devoted maid, Lianxin, remained faithfully by her side, and the two depended on each other to survive.

In the depths of despair, she gave birth to a prince. To protect the child, she endured and bided her time, laying her plans carefully. After a hotpot banquet in the snow, she used the System's power to escape the imperial palace with her son, severing all ties with the emperor once and for all. At last, she broke free of the palace's constraints and set off for Jiangnan in search of freedom and a new life.
