Rising Phoenix

Dynasties rise and dynasties fall, like the tide washing the sand. On one side, he suffers from intrigue and hides his great ambition; on the other, the mysterious girl hides her anger behind her gentle smile. Who toppled the country, establishing their dynasty? Who built the Yellow Springs and set it over Imperial Power, inciting strife and conquering the earth? Who exchanged gazes at the Nine Palaces to the sound of halberd and blood, watching the falling flowers of Acacia? Who drank the poisoned wine and smiled, trading it for a cinnabar dot to the chest? Tribulation and strife has destroyed past prosperity; he would not retreat, and she has not finished singing. .... Is she disturbing the earth world, or is the world disturbing her? This is a seemingly simple story about an era of recovering the old country and the fight for the throne, and the men and women on both sides. To conquer or resist; To push away or fight for chance. To provoke or to still; To love, or to refuse love.

Hua Gongmei's face fell, growing uglier and uglier as the eunuch announced her placing once more.

When Prince Chu had given his toast, he had tossed a wax ball into her cup. She had been filled with joy as she unfolded the note: How to weaken a vassal. She immediately understood that His Highness was giving her a hint. Surely no one understood His Majesty's mind better than the princes who spent day and night by his side.

She had been so excited that her heart felt like it would explode! His Highness was giving her a hint, and this was surely his way of saying that she was the woman he had in mind! Her dream was finally coming true, and she felt like she could cry.

But! But! She only got third place!

And based on what the Tian Sheng Emperor had just said, she finally understood what Ning Yi had intended, and her face paled.
