The Tyrant’s First Female Imperial Advisor and Empress

After her mother disappeared, Xiao Banruo was captured and taken back to the capital, where she met her father, the greatest fortune-teller in the land. Three other young women had been brought back with her.

Her father felt no affection for them, only a desire to control them. "I'll give the four of you a choice of men. One of them will become the future emperor. Whether you have the fate of an empress depends on you."

Then he began pitting them against one another like a breeder raising poisonous insects.

Xiao Banruo: I don't care who marries whom. I'm getting out of here.
