In the fourth year of Chengzuo, a nationwide grand election was held. Jiang Xueyi, the second legitimate daughter of the Minister of Punishments, a prestigious third-rank official, was ceremoniously welcomed into the palace. It was widely known both in and out of the court that the Minister of Punishments was impartial and just, a veritable “Iron-faced Judge of Hell.” Yet, who would have thought that his thousand-petted, ten-thousand-doted daughter would be born with bright, clear eyes, gentle and affectionate, possessing a celestial beauty that was pure and flawless. Among a multitude of stunning beauties, she stood out the most. In the harem, where jealousy and deceit were commonplace, everyone fought fiercely for the emperor’s favor. Yet Jiang Xueyi was like a spring breeze among vibrant flowers, exceptionally gentle and charming. Among the eleven newcomers, she was the most favored by the emperor, known as the “Flower of Understanding,” a testament to her immense favor. However, only Jiang Xueyi knew best that in the deep confines of the palace, it was exceedingly difficult to protect oneself and bring honor to one’s family. A single misstep could lead to an abyss with no end. But fortunately, she planned meticulously and strategically, carving a bloody path out of an extremely difficult game. From a noble lady to a virtuous imperial consort, Jiang Xueyi rose through the ranks, her favor unrivaled in all six palaces, her glory unmatched, bringing immense honor to the Jiang family. Everyone in the palace praised Consort Jiang for being the most gentle and lovely, pure and kind. Yet no one knew that beneath the pure and flawless lotus lay muddy filth. When the compassionate face did not smile, someone’s life was always lost. Note: The protagonist is emotionally stable, always smiling, but when she doesn’t smile, someone is bound to be in deep trouble.
