After spending over ten years living an ordinary life in the small town of Gusu, my father, an official in the capital, finally remembered me.
I believed that my days of suffering had reached an end; however, he forced me to take the place of my sister, who had eloped, and enter the palace as a concubine while disguised as a woman. It turned out that the good life had not arrived. Instead, my life was reaching its end.
My original plan was to keep a low profile while looking for an opportunity to run away. Unexpectedly, I was granted the rank of Imperial Concubine as soon as I entered the palace. Jewelry piled up like mountains, and imperial favors were constant.
I somehow became the Emperor’s sole favorite, the renowned Consort Zhuang.
I acted obediently every day, yet I plotted my escape every night.
Later, my sister returned after suffering many hardships abroad. While we were at the Summer Villa, my sister and I swapped identities, and I fled back to Gusu under the cover of night. I thought that I would live the rest of my life in peace.
That was the case until the day I spent a fortune to summon a famous courtesan.
The curtain was pulled back, and the Emperor, dressed in his dragon robes, approached with a dark expression on his face.
He gripped my chin, and his voice was bone-chillingly cold.
“Noble Consort, you truly made me search a long time for you.”
