The Vicious Woman's Nurturing Plan

About this story

I am notorious as the vicious woman of the palace: anyone who displeases me is sentenced to the One-Zhang Red. The consorts I have slapped could line the imperial city three times over. Even the palace dogs steer clear of me. Later, my fiercest rival, Consort Hien, passes away, and her daughter, Princess Phuc An, suddenly becomes a hot potato. I watch coldly as everyone pushes her around, certain this trouble will never land on me. But then, on a snowy night, eight-year-old Phuc An knocks on the door of my palace.
