The concubines in the Imperial Harem's Palace were either from prominent families, possessed both beauty and talent, or had fathers who had served loyally alongside the emperor; they all set their sights high. Once they entered the Imperial Palace, they spared no effort in eliminating outsiders and deceiving their superiors and inferiors alike.
Liu Xuan'er was merely an adopted daughter of the Liu Family; what was she in this circle of nobles?
Since her entering the palace, she had suffered countless losses and shed many tears, both openly and in secret. Now, suddenly, she had turned her fate around, which heightened the scramble of these people to curry favor, fearing they might fall behind. This made Liu Xuan'er feel Ventilated and Delighted, as if her entire spine had straightened.
Especially when she saw the people crowded in front of her, their faces changing in vain, her heart swelled with joy!
