【Palace Intrigue + Sole Favor + Love-Brain Emperor (Non-virgin, sole favor after palace entry) + Ensemble Cast】
At the age of fifteen, Su Yuewu was selected by her distant aunt, the Empress, to enter the palace as a candidate for Crown Prince Shen Heng’s concubines.
During their time together in the Eastern Palace, their feelings grew deeper by the day. At their most inseparable moment, Su Yuewu suddenly woke up to reality. Realizing that Shen Heng could never have only her as his woman in the future, she found a random excuse and decisively declared her departure from the Eastern Palace, leaving him alone with reddened eyes and clenched fists.
In the summer of the second year of Jianning, the new Emperor held an Imperial Selection. As a woman of eligible age, Su Yuewu was also on the register.
Having experienced three years of the coldness and fickleness of the world, she finally understood how foolish it was to abandon the wealth and glory of the palace for the so-called “one couple for a lifetime.”
This time, she will enter the palace and use Shen Heng’s old feelings to soar upwards until she reaches the position where everyone looks up to her and prostrates in worship…
Warnings:
The male lead is not a virgin. The female lead receives sole favor after entering the palace; he will not favor anyone else again. He is a “love-brain” for the female lead. There are plots where he fails to see through a supporting female character’s true face (this won’t be used to mistreat the female lead; he will struggle for a bit and then choose the female lead over his conscience).
The female lead is clear-headed. After sensing the male lead’s indecisiveness, she will take advantage of his “love-brain” to seize power, focusing on her career to become the Empress Regnant. The male lead will become a neglected husband in the later stages.
