The Empress in the Regent's Palm

Empress Cui Qingyi is framed and impregnated by Regent Xiao Che. Three years into their marriage, she is deceived by Emperor Xiao Hao, who falsely claims to be her benefactor, imprisons her family, and corrupts the harem with Liu Rume while stealing her plague cure. Xiao Che helps Cui Qingyi awaken, and she recovers her medical skills to develop a cure for the plague, but a rift forms with Xiao Che due to her family's captivity. Later, Cui Qingyi exposes Xiao Hao's conspiracy with evidence, and Xiao Che strips away Liu Rume's mask. Xiao Hao commits suicide, Liu is executed, and the family is saved. Upon ascending the throne, Xiao Che rules alongside Cui Qingyi to quell the chaos, eventually making her Empress and a renowned healer.
