After 99 Reloads, An Lingrong Turns the Tables and Takes Control of Imperial Power

Family background? No record. Connections? Clean as a whistle. Looks? Just good enough to rank among the palace women. A three-nothing start, dealt a terrible hand. An Lingrong: Perfect. I love playing from behind. At the Plum Blossom Garden, Zhen Huan sighs, “May the wind at my back understand my wish, and spare the blossoms from harm.” An Lingrong, raising her voice with great enthusiasm: “Your Majesty! When a flower is ready to be plucked, you must pluck it at once!” Consort Hua can't sleep at night? A soothing incense gift earns one favor point. A physician needs something? Hand over a prescription to treat eye ailments and gain one connection. While the other consorts are still figuring out how to make the emperor remember them, An Lingrong has already made being his sole favorite part of her daily routine. The consorts: Why is this newcomer so pushy and competitive? Where did she learn to play so dirty? An Lingrong, just stepping away from the imperial bed and straightening her collar: Thanks for asking. There's nothing shameful about building a career!
