On the eve of the imperial selection, the concubine-born daughter Shen Niaoniao is threatened by her legal mother into entering the palace to help her legitimate elder sister maintain the Emperor’s favor.
For the sake of her mother, she willingly becomes a pawn. But by accident, she uncovers her sister’s secret scheme:
The day the child is born will be the day Shen Niaoniao dies.
While fleeing in panic, Shen Niaoniao loses her footing and falls. When she awakens, a strange panel appears before her eyes:
[Host: Shen Niaoniao]
[Beauty: 21 (Ordinary Passerby)]
[Buffs: None]
[Daily Mission: Make the Emperor remember your name]
[Mission Reward: One Facial Enhancement, 10 Points]
[Main Quest: Capture Emperor Li Zhao’s Heart — Progress 0%]
Shen Niaoniao: You want me dead? Elder Sister, then watch carefully as I climb step by step to the highest position under heaven!
Emperor Li Zhao of Yongxi,
Born into supreme nobility, honored above all others.
Five years after ascending the throne, his entire focus remained on governing the empire. No woman had ever truly entered his heart.
Yet somehow, a seemingly insignificant concubine-born girl who had just entered the palace gradually came to occupy his every thought.
At first…
He merely pitied her lonely and difficult childhood,
and brought her under his protection.
Later…
He wanted to be her sky, her earth. He wanted to give her everything she desired—as long as she wanted it, and as long as he possessed it.
If any other man dared to look at her for even a moment too long, he would make sure that man died without a burial place.
