Building the Phoenix Terrace

[Palace intrigue + political machinations + everyone is smitten + tangled love triangle] A love-hate relationship with the regent king x a heroine who starts out as a timid little rabbit and later becomes a ruthless killer x a frail emperor who is her one true love Overnight, Yun Sheng lost her entire family. Immune to all poisons, she was sent by the Empress Dowager to a mad imperial physician and became the emperor's medicine tester. Little did she know that her trial would end on the emperor's bed. Countless people tried to kill her, only to push her ever higher. She clears the wrongly accused, executes her enemies, and seizes power, yet she alone cannot save the life of the deeply devoted emperor. A newly widowed Yun Sheng helps her son, who cannot yet walk, ascend the throne. With troubles within and threats without, she has no choice but to turn her attention to the regent king. “Your Highness, back then, wasn't it you who refused to leave with me?” But that devilish nemesis pins her to the imperial bed and reopens old grievances night after night.
