Lu Wanning, the fifth daughter of the Zhong Yong Marquis, never dreamed of entering the palace to fight for extravagant riches—even with her beauty like that of a blossoming flower.
But fate had other plans.
Her cousin, the noble consort—once pregnant but now barren—set her eyes on Wanning's beauty and vulnerability, especially now that Wanning's father had died, leaving her easy to control.
Forced into the palace, Wanning decided: if she had to go, she would go all the way.
Fine. She'd enter the palace. But not just to survive—she would climb.
She would become a favored consort. Step by step, she would replace her cousin.
One day, she would make her cousin regret ever making this choice.
