Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Zhen Huan enters the Forbidden City as a new concubine of the Yongzheng Emperor, hoping only for a quiet life. The inner palace is ruled by the outwardly gracious Empress and the flamboyant, favoured Consort Hua, and every kindness hides a calculation. Zhen Huan survives disgrace, exile to a nunnery and a forbidden love with the Emperor’s brother, Prince Guo, before returning to court hardened and determined. Pregnancy, poisoned gifts and staged scandals thin the ranks around her, and the girl who once avoided the Emperor’s favour learns to use power herself, rising step by step toward the Empress Dowager’s seat.
