share time: 2026-02-26 02:31:27

Lin Zhaoxue, a concubine’s daughter of the prime minister, was treated as a “worthless pawn” since childhood. On her 15th birthday, her father sent her to the palace as a gift—to help her legitimate sister win over Crown Prince Xiao Jingheng. But the half-jade pendant in her sleeve glowed at midnight—it was the late emperor’s token of love with a commoner, revealing her identity as the emperor’s illegitimate daughter. Facing her stepmother and sister’s schemes, and the prince’s mockery of her “ambition,” Lin Zhaoxue pretended to be weak while secretly rallying the late emperor’s loyalists to uncover the truth of his sudden death. When she stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony holding the late emperor’s will, she realized: the world was never a chessboard for men, but a phoenix platform she would rule with her own hands.
