Of all the products in the System Mall, Jiang Xian had always coveted the "Draw a Character Card" feature that unlocked after a system upgrade. The only problem was her limited Palace Fighting Points. She had to keep some in reserve for emergencies, leaving no surplus to spend on drawing cards.
After giving birth to Xie Zhao, she found herself needing to spend points on everything.

Looking back through history, even an emperor had nearly been strangled to death by a young palace maid. Once outside a parent's protection, a child was like a toddler carrying gold through a crowded market. A sharp hairpin, a wooden plank, or even just being picked up and tossed into a hole cut in a frozen lake was all it would take for her to lose her only son.
