In the treacherous courts of the early qing dynasty it is the dream of every clan to have a daughter sit the Phoenix throne. The niohuru clan has produced 3 Empresses and a khitan. Faced with such expectations another niohuru daughter has been feed to the palace. Sent to uphold their clans pride but in reality sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter. Niohuru wanyan is the legitimate daughter and highly favored. She is sent to the palace with niohuru caiying, her concubine born sister as her maid. Will the palace have another grand feast or will another niohuru empress sit the Phoenix throne?

As a virtuous wife, does it include tolerating his cousin, enduring his concubines, bearing his mother? If you will not let me live freely, why would I let you live in satisfaction? Did fate let women time-travel so she could learn the three morals and four virtues? Rather than act like a coward and live, it would be better to live in satisfaction and die. ✍️ Butterfly's Shadow Beneath The Moon, Yue Xia Die Ying

To become an imperial concubine is to master the art of survival. It is not beauty that keeps you alive, nor obedience that keeps you favored, it is precision. Every word measured. Every glance calculated. Every step taken as though walking along the edge of a blade. Yes, the emperor will dine with you. He will laugh with you. He may even favor you for a time. And for that fleeting favor, you will be rewarded with silk, gold, and a life others can only dream of. But dreams have a way of turning into cages. Because within the palace, affection is currency, trust is a weapon, and love... is the most dangerous illusion of all. From the outside, it sounds like an enviable position. What could possibly be wrong with such a life? Only those within the palace walls know the truth. ✍️ Butterfly's Shadow Beneath the Moon

When an Imperial Decree demands that every noble household send their eligible daughters to the palace for the Xuancai (Imperial Selection), the Nangong Marquisate faces a dilemma. To protect their favored daughter from the risks of the inner court, they send Ning Xiang-the ignored, illegitimate daughter born of a lowly maid-alongside her legitimate sister, Nangong Bi. Bi is arrogant, haughty, and convinced she is destined to be the next Empress. Ning Xiang, however, enters the palace with only one goal: to survive long enough to eventually earn her freedom and find her mother. The young Emperor Li Zhao is a man of sharp intellect and deep isolation. Haunted by the fact that he has no heirs, he is surrounded by women who view his lap only as a stepping stone for their families. At the center of the web is Empress Xiao, a woman whose elegance masks a ruthless, calculating mind. She maintains her power by ensuring no consort stays in favor long enough to threaten her position. Beside her are the "Four Consorts," each more insidious than the last, turning the harem into a battlefield where a single wrong word can lead to execution. From the cold chambers of a Cairen to the silk-lined halls of the Huang Guifei (Imperial Noble Consort), Ning Xiang transforms. She sheds her innocence, learning that in the Daming Palace, one must either be the predator or the prey. As she stands one step away from the Empress's throne, she must decide if the power she has gained is worth the soul she has traded for it-and whether she can finally protect the empire from the schemes that threaten to burn it down. "In this garden of peonies, only the one with the sharpest thorns survives the winter."
