Tang Shishi is the number one beauty in the palace, arrogant and domineering, bullying beauty to commit murder. She happens to pick up a book and learns that she is just a vicious female match in a palace fighting text, after which she will compete with the female lead for favor and eventually lose her reputation and die a miserable death.
Now, they have just entered King Jing's fiefdom, and the first encounter between the male and female protagonists has not yet occurred. Now there are two paths in front of Tang Shishi, the first is to cling to the heroine's thighs and commit to the heroine's camp early; the second is to curry favor with the hero and steal the heroine's favor.
Tang Shishi chose the third road.
Tang Shishi knows that the male lead's adoptive father, King Jing, appears to be low-key, but is actually ambitious. In the near future, he will invade the capital and claim the throne, only to suddenly die of illness, before passing the throne to the male lead.
This year, King Jing is twenty-four years old, rich and strong, not yet married.
The first thing you need to do is to be his first mother, the Empress Dowager, instead of being the main man's favorite consort.

Zhao Jun had no intention of getting married, so he adopted his subordinate's son as his heir. He thought he would spend his life in the company of gold and iron horses.
Later, the king's division sent a team of beauties, the leader of which was named Tang Shishi. The young adopted son was righteously indignant, and his subordinates advised: Your Majesty, this is a beauty scheme.
King Jing: I know.
The so-called beauty scheme, but the willingness to take the bait.

Tang Shishi was the number one beauty in the court. She was arrogant, domineering and aggressive. She accidentally picked up a book and learned that she was just a vicious female second lead in a palace struggle. Later, she would fight for favor with the female lead, and eventually she was ruined and died miserably.
Now, they have just entered the fief of Jing Wang, and the first meeting of the male and female leads has not happened yet. There are two paths before Tang Shishi. The first is to hold the heroine’s thighs tightly and join the female lead camp early; the second is to please the male lead and steal the favor of the female lead.
Tang Shishi chooses the third way.
Tang Shishi knew that the male lead’s adoptive father Jing Wang seemed to be low profile, but in fact he was overly ambitious. In the near future, he will invade the capital and proclaim the emperor before the imperial court, but it is a pity that he passed away before passing the throne to the male lead.
This year, Jing Wang is twenty-four years old, still young, and has yet to marry a wife.
Anyway, she already in the Forbidden City. Instead of being the concubine of the male lead, it is better to be his adopted mother, the empress dowager in one step.
