Princess Chu's Rise to the Throne

Chu Wei Yang's mother was an unimportant maid in the princely mansion. In her past life, she served as a personal maid to her eldest sister, Chu Yihuan, using her incense-making skills to help her sister win favor at court, but was dragged down by her foolish sister. Several concubines cruelly harmed both of them under the guise of a game. After Chu Wei Yang and her sister were reborn together, the sister refused the imperial selection out of fear, so Chu Wei Yang entered the palace on her sister's behalf to seek revenge. This time, she would no longer be like a gnat, but instead climb step by step to the throne of the Empress. The harem was controlled by powerful factions, so Chu Wei Yang made a deal with Emperor Murong Shu to help him eliminate forces from the former dynasty and the harem. Starting from a low-ranking concubine, she rose to become the Empress, gradually winning Emperor Murong Shu's heart and becoming his sole favorite.
