【Palace intrigue + maid's rise to power + replacement romance + satisfying revenge】
Jiang Lian was the most capable and trusted senior maid at the noble consort's side. She devised schemes for her, stained her hands with blood, and helped her climb step by step to the position of noble consort, only to be repaid with a cup of poisoned wine.
With nowhere else to turn, she took a desperate gamble, using the image of her deceased former mistress to draw the emperor close. After spending a night in his favor, she used fragrance as bait and old affections as a blade, carving her name into the emperor's heart.
From condemned slave to favored consort, she planned every step, uncovered her birth, foiled conspiracies, and cut down her enemies, until at last she ruled the empire.
"Your Ladyship, you once taught me that all is fair in love and war."
She smiled softly. "But you forgot: the one who survives to the end... is always the player moving the pieces."
Palace scheming, a replacement's rise to power, and the emperor's deep devotion. See how a lowly maid stirs up the realm, rising from a pawn to rule the empire!
What a boring book, and quite ridiculous. The heroine has been serving the emperor's sweetheart since she was a child. She is a slave. She looks 9% similar to the lady. They are not sisters. They are almost as similar as twins. The heroine has been with the imperial concubine for so many years. The emperor often stays next to the imperial concubine. Is he blind and can't see your face? Concubine Xu is pregnant, and the emperor gives the task of preserving the fetus to the heroine. What nonsense is this? A slave has no medical skills and does not understand.
