Dust in the Deep Palace

Tang Jingchen is a woman who wants nothing more than to live a quiet life, yet she is swept into the turmoil of the imperial harem. She had hoped to keep her head down, but reality teaches her a harsh lesson: in the harem, choosing not to seek the emperor’s favor is no guarantee of survival. The emperor’s callousness forces her to mature quickly. Amid the rivalries and schemes of the palace consorts, she gradually finds her calm. Tang Jingchen watches the heights rise and fall. Her life may not have turned out as she once imagined, but at least she survived, and that is enough.
