The Chapters 10–11 ending where the protagonist strategically feeds Consort Wei's dream of becoming empress to orchestrate her downfall, earning both the Arrows at Wei and Consort of Preciousness's Downfall achievements.
Arrows at Wei is the strategic ending of the Feast of Shadow arc in Road to Empress, where the protagonist turns Consort Wei’s own ambition against her. Rather than confronting Consort Wei directly or relying on the Emperor’s authority, the player must cultivate a long-game strategy: building trust with Xi Xin, eliminating her brother as a loose end, identifying the true spy (Lan De), and weaponizing the Wei Clan’s dirt through a bribery rumor. The masterstroke is choosing to feed Consort Wei’s dream of becoming empress — a choice that lures her into overreach and sets up her eventual downfall.
This ending is one of the most politically intricate in Road to Empress, requiring the player to think like a palace strategist. Nearly every wrong choice leads to a Bad Ending, and the correct path demands patience rather than direct confrontation. The dual achievement unlock — Arrows at Wei and Consort of Preciousness’s Downfall — signals that this route resolves two major plot threads simultaneously. Players frequently search for this ending because it represents the most satisfying political victory in the mid-game chapters.
