The Perilous Palace Dream
危宫惊梦
Synopsis
Beside the emperor’s throne, how could another be allowed to sleep soundly?
And yet, the one who insists on sleeping there is none other than the treacherous minister who dares to slay the monarch and seize the throne.
Even worse, she herself is not a legitimate prince but rather a false heir—a true princess in disguise.
All she hopes is that the Grand Tutor will hold his tongue and refrain from casually remarking, “Today is an auspicious day, Your Majesty. It’s time for you to meet your demise.”
This counterfeit emperor would rather abandon the throne and roam the world.
But what? He wants the dragon throne, and he also wants the person lying on it…
The heroine, Nie Qinglin, has concealed her true gender since childhood, living deep within the palace as an unfavored prince.
However, when a coup erupts, she is reduced to a prisoner overnight and forced onto the imperial throne by the ruthless head of the treacherous ministers, Wei Lenghou.
Now a mere puppet, she teeters on the edge of survival.
Nie Qinglin must guard her secret while maneuvering against the cold-hearted and unyielding Wei Lenghou to preserve her life.
In this perilous court, every step is fraught with danger.
With her composed intelligence and sharp wit, she unwittingly captures the heart of the arrogant male lead.
