Chapter 1 - synopsis

The Self-Cultivation of a Gossip-Loving Consort

-------

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this neglected, invisible prince. After he became emperor, the harem was flooded with daughters of powerful ministers.

They were an eyesore, a headache, and he felt that even sleeping with them would taint his imperial body.

So he made a decision — he would select a loud, fiery, domineering, jealous woman to enter the palace and help him toss all that trash into the Cold Palace.

Song Yunzhao had transmigrated to ancient times for fourteen years. She'd kept a low profile, laying low and surviving quietly, just waiting for the plot to begin. Then she'd transform into a fierce, arrogant, jealous villainess, get eliminated from the selection, and pick herself a husband to live a carefree life.

But later, when the emperor looked at her with a gentle yet doting smile and said, "Zhao Zhao, come here,"

Song Yunzhao felt a chill down her spine.

Something's seriously wrong! That dog emperor had gentle eyes but a cold heart — he was clearly planning to use her as a weapon!
