About Road to Empress I
Road to Empress I is a live-action palace adventure set in an ancient Chinese imperial court. You shape the story through your choices as an unknown girl tries to survive deadly power struggles and rise to influence through wisdom and courage. The story follows her origins and transformation into a formidable force.

Behind the court’s golden facade lie desire, secrets and buried truths. You can uncover scandals including a prince’s affair with a court bard, a princess’s hidden lover and vengeful spirits in the abandoned Cold Palace.
