: his is a world born from a harem intrigue novel. Su Lüxia transmigrates into the life of a noble consort who has fallen out of favour. Noble Consort Su had once, in order to protect the Emperor, drunk poisoned wine meant to assassinate him in his place. In order to save him, she had also knelt in the snow, begging others to send troops to his rescue. She had even, during a rebellion, taken a fatal sword blow in his place. Yet the Emperor was foolish, listening only to his favoured consort Liu Ruyan and subjecting Su Lüxia to all kinds of torture, betraying every act of kindness shown him. In order to take revenge, Su Lüxia intentionally stirs up trouble in the imperial harem. She exploits the secret affair between Liu Ruyan and the Ninth Prince, enraging the Emperor, who then isolates and banishes Liu Ruyan. She then once again exploits Liu Ruyan's hatred, manipulating her into assassinating the Emperor and taking him down with her in mutual destruction. In the end, the Fourth Prince, raised single-handedly by Su Lüxia, ascends the throne. Su Lüxia herself becomes the Empress Dowager, unparalleled in majesty, the fate of the entire dynasty resting at the flip of her palm.
