Su Wantang, the most neglected concubine daughter of the Prime Minister, was as soft as marshmallow—even servants dared to step on her shoulders to pick fruits. But this “soft persimmon” accidentally bumped into Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan, who was being chased by assassins in plain clothes, at a palace banquet. She wrapped his wound with her embroidered skirt but tremblingly knocked over his healing medicine. Fearing death, she apologized with red eyes, only to see the prince’s heart skip a beat as he stared at her. After returning to the palace, the prince ignored the Empress Dowager’s demand to “marry a capable woman” and begged for an edict overnight to make her his main consort. Entering the palace, side concubines called her a “seductress” and the Empress Dowager deemed her “unrefined,” but she resolved everything with soft tactics: winning the Empress Dowager over with osmanthus cakes, impressing ministers with embroidered robes, and even luring the mastermind out by pretending to cry for the prince when he was framed for rebellion. Xiao Jingyan went from “finding her interesting” to refusing a princess’s marriage for her, arguing with the Empress Dowager for her, and even holding her on his lap while reviewing memorials—this “useless” gentle wife became the one he cherished most. In the end, the prince ascended the throne, and she became the only “exclusively favored empress” of the Daqi Dynasty.
