Niang’niang’s Favor is Unfailing

In the fourth year of the Chengzou Emperor’s reign, a nationwide selection of women was held to enter the palace. Jiang Xueyi, the second daughter of the Minister of Justice, a third-rank official, was chosen to enter the palace.

Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the Minister of Justice was a just and fair man, with a reputation for being strict and impartial, earning him the nickname “Iron-Faced Yanluo” (a reference to the god of the underworld). However, few people knew that his daughter, Jiang Xueyi, was a beautiful and gentle soul, with a lovely face and a kind heart.

In the harem, where women competed for the emperor’s favor and plotted against each other, Jiang Xueyi stood out as a breath of fresh air, with a warm and gentle demeanor that won her many admirers. Among the 11 new women selected to enter the palace, she was the most favored by the emperor and was nicknamed “The Flower of Eloquence”.

However, only Jiang Xueyi knew how difficult it was to survive in the treacherous world of the palace, where one misstep could lead to disaster. But she was careful and strategic, always thinking several steps ahead, and managed to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries to rise through the ranks.

From her initial position as a noble lady, Jiang Xueyi rose to become the emperor’s favored concubine, and was renowned for her beauty, intelligence, and kindness. The Jiang family was filled with pride and honor, and everyone in the palace admired and respected Jiang Xueyi.

But what people didn’t know was that beneath her pure and gentle exterior, Jiang Xueyi was a cunning and ruthless player, who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. And when she wasn’t smiling, it was often a sign that someone was about to meet a terrible fate.

Note: The female protagonist has a very stable emotional state, always smiling, but when she’s not smiling, someone is usually in for a world of trouble.

One-sentence summary: In the six palaces, the women’s faces are devoid of color, but the intention is: no matter when or where, always love yourself the most.
