Fics like ascension (there is no 'i' in coup d'état)

When Empress Zhen was handed the thin slip of paper, written in scarlet ink by the Emperor's own hand and sealed with tape and wax, she did not know that she was being handed the future of a dynasty. At the time, it had only contained the fate of a friend. Empress Zhen and Noble Consort Yi have always gotten along, but in 1861, on the cusp of regency, things were far from certain. The fate of a dynasty is not an easy burden for any relationship to bear but the historical trajectory of China depends on it.
