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.

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."

(has really nothing to do with the first existence book, just the same characters and time travel theme) ((this will take place in the Tang dynasty.

In this world where gods and demons existed and were told of amongst the humans, and the leader of the human world proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, why would the Immortals not involve themselves? They might proclaim themselves above such things, but I have lived over a thousand years. The Immortals are a hypocritical bunch, but sensitive to violence; the Canonisation was a blood-letting of such epic proportions that rivers of blood still stained all of China. Supernatural forces still intervened now and then. Demons and spirits had conscripted in the armies of the Han and the Western Chu. Diao Chan had seduced Lü Fengxian into murdering his foster father. Political power and the prosecution of demons had historical links; inside and outside of China are the same. This humble servant had assisted Prime Minister Li Si and the King Zheng in the founding of the Qin dynasty. Our great Tang dynasty was no exception, is no exception, and will not be an exception.
