The Consort Is Indispensable

The TV adaptation of this novel, “Song of the Phoenix Through the Four Seasons,” will stream exclusively on Tencent Video starting June 17!

“All four empresses are dead. That’s because they were fools. If I take the throne, I’ll wipe out that old monster in Yongning Palace and make her wish she were dead, until she’s nothing but bones for people to trample.”

My fate was cruel, and in the end I could not escape the slaughter of the inner palace. If kindness and tenderness are no true path forward, then I’ll cut through the thorns with my sword and carve out a blood-soaked road, cold and merciless.
