Adorned with palace flowers on their hats, they face the Emperor's countenance, their fame spreading far and wide as they pass the imperial examinations in the golden hall.

[Maid + Palace Sisters + Ensemble Characters with a Plot-Driven Story] [Female Lead is a Native, No Time Travel/Rebirth, No Hidden Identity]

---------------

After his mother passed away, his father immediately married a new woman.

Meng Shu endured years of hardship under her stepmother's control, but ultimately could not escape the fate of being sold off.

The slave trader's ropes dragged her away from her homeland and threw her into the incredibly wealthy Tang family mansion.

She was selected to enter the household due to her exceptional talent and became the personal maid of the second young lady of the Tang family.

Madam Yun, the matriarch of the Tang family, was extremely skilled in planning and in bestowing favors. She survived in the mansion for four years. From then on, Meng Shu was no more, only her maid, Hua Yan, remained.

Soon after, the second young lady was ordered to enter the palace.

Deep within the palace gates, turbulent undercurrents surge. To protect her mistress in this desperate situation, and to carve out a path to survival for herself, Meng Shu (Hua Yan), as a "selected concubine," steps into the golden cage.

However, the imperial harem was by no means a warm and loving sisterhood.

Here, there is fighting without gunpowder, and scheming behind smiles.

Meng Shu (Hua Yan) was born with a photographic memory, and she is meticulous and plans things out before acting.

She is by no means a kind and easily deceived saint; when faced with life-or-death situations, she can also reveal a terrifying ruthlessness.

She navigated the quagmire of power and survival with utmost caution.

Behind the heavy curtains of the palace, the understanding, alliances, and mutual assistance among women, like vines quietly growing in dire straits, became another source of strength for her survival.

From a lowly maid to a palace attendant, and finally to the position of Empress, how will she protect those she wants to protect and carve out her own bloody path in this cannibalistic palace?

Everything is just beginning...

The county magistrate's secretary was invited for tea by relevant departments and his childhood sweetheart came to break off their engagement. Unexpectedly, after a series of events, things took a turn for the better, and the protagonist's fortunes turned around, step by step reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Just as the saying goes, "You left me in the trough, but you can't reach the peak!"

The all-around favorite of the group is all-oriented and the official pairing is broken. If you want to see pure Mary Sue, come and see it! A self-letting prostitution story, the first one of the female nanny, and the heroine of Ai Ning.

Bai Fan pursued the girl he liked for two lifetimes.

The good news is that he caught up with her in both lifetimes; the bad news is that they couldn't be together in the end in either lifetime.

Fate played a cruel joke on him, sending him back to that day once again.

When he stood before the girl he had been longing for again, he chose to step back.

But... junior, why are you suddenly giving things away for free?

“This time, I’ll approach you.” She stared into Bai Fan’s eyes. “Let’s start over.”

Years later, the girl lay in Bai Fan's arms, gazing at the setting sun, and whispered, "Thank you for not giving up on me after we started over."

She suddenly looked up and asked, "Why?"

Bai Fan chuckled and gently stroked her long hair.

"It's because you chose me without hesitation."
