The Phoenix Palace Shines Anew

The story takes place in an imaginary dynasty. The male lead transmigrates just as the heroine, Hu Li, is about to be forced to abdicate. He transmigrates into Wu Yi, the stubborn son. Knowing what is to come, he acts after the empress abdicates. Though she had been shrewd and capable, she could not overcome the ministers’ old-fashioned views. Some time after the empress abdicates, the former imperial house falls into internal strife. After a long struggle, the throne finally passes to Prince Huai. He initially devotes himself to governing well, but fears that women will hold power. He kills the women of the imperial family, including his own aunt, and then finds an excuse to kill the empress. Later, his failure to appoint capable people leads to frequent rebellions. The once-prosperous realm falls into decline, and powerful clans take control. This time, he will make a change and alter the course of history.
