Lu Wanning was the fifth young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's household. Though born with breathtaking beauty, she had never planned to enter the palace and fight for a share of its immense wealth and power.
But who could have expected that her cousin, a Noble Consort who had lost her child and could no longer conceive, would take a liking to her beauty and the fact that, without a father to protect her, she would be easy to control, and insist that she enter the palace?
Unable to resist, Lu Wanning decided to simply grant them their wish.
Wasn't it just entering the palace? Then she would go.
Not only would she enter the palace, she would rise step by step to become the emperor's favorite consort and take her cousin's place.
One day, she would make her cousin regret the choice she had made today.
Content warning: palace intrigue, not mutually exclusive first relationships, not one-on-one. Please steer clear if you can't accept that.
