The Marquis's Concubine to the Regent Prince

A modern young woman, independent, levelheaded, and good at reading a situation to protect herself, transmigrates into the Great Qi dynasty and becomes Su Qingyuan, the lowliest and most overlooked concubine-born daughter in the Marquis of Yongning’s household. Her birth mother died early, leaving her with no one to rely on. She endured the abuse of her legitimate mother and the humiliation of her legitimate younger sister in the inner courtyard, living like an ant or a blade of grass before finally dying with her name cleared too late. Returning with a modern mindset and clear-eyed understanding, Su Qingyuan sees through the schemes and infighting of the stifling household. She refuses to be at others’ mercy or become a pawn in their game. The imperial court is treacherous amid the turmoil of the age. Xiao Jue, the cold and taciturn regent who holds power over the court, is a powerful minister whom all fear and the imperial house regards with suspicion. Yet he is also a man caught in a whirlpool of political intrigue, burdened by loneliness. The cautious concubine-born daughter and the regent who holds the realm’s power become unexpectedly entangled. With her modern, clearheaded insight, she breaks through the household’s power struggles and fights to survive amid the malice of others. In a court rife with suspicion, he lowers his guard and shows favor to her alone. A mutual salvation that transcends the barriers of status, and a defiance of fate that turns destiny on its head. Su Qingyuan breaks free from the constraints of feudal hierarchy and takes control of her own future. Xiao Jue breaks through the imperial conspiracies and the shackles of court politics. Together, they put down a military mutiny, foil the royal family’s schemes, and ultimately leave behind the struggles of court, cast off worldly splendor, and spend the rest of their lives together.
