Consort Stories

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."

In the opulent and treacherous world of the Qing Dynasty's Forbidden City, a young palace maid named Zhao Yue enters its gates, her future seemingly predetermined by her humble birth.

From a lowly palace maid, she is elevated to a Changzai, then a Guiren, experiencing the first taste of imperial favor and the bitter envy it breeds. Each step up the intricate ladder-Pin, Fei, Guifei, and finally the coveted Huang Guifei-is fraught with challenges. Zhao Yue must navigate the intricate web of rivalries, betrayals, and power struggles among the established consorts and ambitious maids, each vying for the Emperor's attention and the security it brings. ​ Zhao Yue learns to become not only a devoted mother but also a shrewd strategist, safeguarding her children's future while securing her own position. ​"The Embroidered Phoenix" is a captivating tale of survival, ambition, and love in the heart of imperial China. It offers a detailed glimpse into the lives of women in the Qing harem, revealing the strength, intelligence, and unwavering spirit required to transform a simple palace maid into one of the most powerful women in the empire, an enduring testament to the indomitable will of a phoenix rising from the ashes of adversity.
