The Emperor and Empress Had No Heir for Ten Years, So I Entered the Palace

Rumor had it that Qingrou was strong and robust, with vigorous blood and energy, and could surely have two children in three years, both healthy.

The emperor and empress had been married for ten years without any children.

To continue the bloodline and secure an heir to the throne, the empress chose Qingrou as a consort based on the rumors.

At the time, Qingrou was at home waiting to be married. The sudden news caught her completely off guard.

Her gentle fiance immediately broke off their engagement, and there was no resisting the emperor's decree. Qingrou had no choice but to accept.

The emperor was always cold and only ever listened to the empress.

The empress had summoned Qingrou to serve in the palace, yet kept calling her a “homewrecker” who had ruined another woman's marriage.

She even planned to kill Qingrou after she gave birth, keeping the child and getting rid of the mother.

Who wants to die for no reason? Qingrou seethed with hatred.

Now that she was in the palace, she would survive, and she would thrive.

“Empress, the child I give birth to is mine, and your phoenix throne will be mine too.”

As for the emperor... A man like that was fit only to serve as a stepping-stone for her and her child to seize imperial power.
