Xue Hengzhao knew she was a calamity, so she made a point of keeping herself hidden.
For years, everyone in the capital knew the Xue family had a young lady, but few had ever seen her.
But when disaster struck her family, she could no longer stay out of it. She entered the palace as a lowly maid.
The imperial palace was full of danger, and every moment was fraught with peril.
People envied her, oppressed her, coveted her, and framed her...
Yet she always found a way out of danger and won against the odds.
Qian Sanchun, Chief Eunuch of the Four Departments: "I meant to take you under my wing, and this is how you repay me? Since you won't serve me, I'll assign you to the haunted courtyard for the night shift!"
A few days later, Qian Sanchun threw himself down a well and died.
Noble Consort He: "With a face as seductive as yours, you must be trying to seduce His Majesty! Guards, brand her face and ruin it!"
In the blink of an eye, Noble Consort He was demoted to commoner and sent to the Cold Palace to scrub chamber pots.
The Empress: "Dare to oppose me, and I'll make sure you don't have a whole corpse left!"
Three years later, weeds covered the deposed empress's grave.
Xue Hengzhao knew all too well that keeping her head down and scraping by would only end with her being crushed underfoot like an ant.
If that was the case, she might as well unleash her full skill and turn the tide amid the chaos...
This story is neither about someone being reborn nor about transmigration. There are no pocket dimensions or supernatural powers.
It remains a serious historical drama.
