Three Years a Convict, Then I Helped Myself to the Empress's Throne

Overnight, she goes from being the most esteemed young lady in the capital to the lowliest convict slave in the servants' quarters. For three years, she endures endless torment, abandoned like trash by the man who was once her fiancé. Three years later, she buries her hatred and watches him dote on his secondary consort, swallowing every last humiliation. Until the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Her “Pine and Crane for a Long Life” bonsai dazzles the whole gathering, revealing her remarkable talent. The Prince of Ping finally sees the error of his ways and begs her to take him back, eyes red. The Prince of Rui, meanwhile, offers her the position of empress and invites her to join forces. Le Lanshan smiles. A man's pity? She stopped believing in that long ago. She will personally reclaim every humiliation she has suffered, one by one!
