The Ascent of the Empress

In a dynasty facing a succession crisis, the emperor was unable to have an heir for many years due to an injury. This became a national event and concerned the future of the dynasty. Therefore, the emperor ordered a wide search for women who were easy to get pregnant to enter the palace, hoping to solve the problem of the continuation of the royal bloodline. The heroine has a body that is naturally easy to get pregnant. She was favored by the emperor on the first night she entered the palace and quickly became pregnant. The emperor was very happy to hear the news and wanted to immediately canonize her as the queen. However, the heroine did not want to be involved in the complicated harem struggle. She chose to live a low-key life, hoping to give birth to a dragon descendant in peace. For this reason, she even took the initiative to give up the power to manage the harem to the imperial concubine. This move seemed wise, but in fact it hid unknown risks. The imperial concubine was suspicious of the heroine's pregnancy and thought it was a fraud, so she abused her cruelly. At the critical moment, although the hero was unable to discern the truth for a while, he saved the heroine in time because of a jade pendant. Unfortunately, the fetus could not be saved. After the heroine recovered, she began to fight back against the villains who tried to harm her. However, the concubine's cousin, a general with a large army, directly threatened the safety of the palace and even planned an assassination of the emperor in the palace. Even more shocking, he also framed the heroine for infidelity and forced the imperial physician to forge a certificate of the concubine's pregnancy. As the heroine gradually uncovered this series of conspiracies, she realized that she could not protect herself by remaining indifferent to fame and fortune in the harem. So she changed her strategy and grew from a reclusive woman to a queen who had the courage to fight against evil and uphold justice in the harem.
