In the grand halls of the ancient imperial palace, beauty is a weapon-and innocence can be the deadliest disguise. Li Xueying was once betrayed, burned, and left for dead by the sister she trusted most. Reborn with a heart ablaze for revenge, she returns not just to survive but to claim everything that was taken from her-her family's honor, the emperor's heart, and the throne itself. To the world, she is an elegant flower veiled in grace, a picture of innocence and charm. But beneath the imperial veil lies a woman of fierce intelligence, seductive allure, and unyielding resolve. With every calculated smile and whispered secret, she entangles the emperor and his younger brother in a dangerous dance of passion and power. Amidst jealous rivals, treacherous harem women, and palace conspiracies, Xueying's greatest weapon is her mind-and a trusted maid who sees beyond the veil. As the emperor's desire turns possessive and the stakes rise with a miraculous pregnancy, her quest for the throne will ignite flames that burn brighter than ever. Will Li Xueying seize the crown and her destiny as Empress? Or will the shadows of the past consume her once again?
