Palace Consort in a Golden Age

Clever hands and a quick mind make a prized consort; Xiang Chi finds success in the Jade Circle Palace. One day, she is thrown into a prison cell, and between life and death, she comes to a profound realization. In this place, people's hearts are fickle, and life and death depend on power and privilege. Only a cold heart can resist attachment; she must claw her way back from the brink of death, step by step. She battles the other consorts with wit and courage, gradually rising in rank and winning the emperor's favor. Who would have thought that the daughter of a disgraced minister would one day become a beloved consort, laughing as she turns the tides?
