The Inner Palace has a new concubine. Y/n is beautiful, intelligent, gentle, and perhaps a little too kind for a place where smiles can hide poison and every whispered rumor has a purpose. As the Emperor’s newest consort, she expects jealousy, court politics, and the occasional attempt to undermine her. What she doesn’t expect is to catch the Emperor’s attention so quickly. Between suspicious illnesses, dangerous cosmetics, palace secrets, and Maomao’s increasingly suspicious observations, Y/n is about to discover that surviving the Inner Palace requires much more than looking pretty. Because in a palace full of flowers… the most beautiful ones aren’t always the safest.
