Great Ming: The Cold Palace's Legitimate Daughter? Taking Stock from the Start

In the thirty-eighth year of the Wanli reign, snow blanketed the Cold Palace.

Zhu Xuanying, the legitimate princess of the Ming dynasty and only daughter of Empress Xiaoduanxian, had been imprisoned in the Cold Palace for seventeen years since childhood after her mother was deposed on false charges by treacherous schemers. The palace attendants looked down on her, the princes humiliated her, and even a bowl of hot food was a luxury. Everyone said she was the daughter of a deposed empress, doomed to never rise above her station.

No one knew that within her frail body dwelled the soul of a special forces captain from her previous life in China.

After seventeen years of patience and concealment, she had honed her edge and watched the tides of power, waiting for a chance to defy fate.

Ding! The Rise to the Peak Empress System has activated! Starter pack issued: Divine General Hua Mulan, fierce general Zhao Yun, and a hundred elite modern special forces, all ready to deploy in secret!

Just as she prepared to turn the tables with her trump cards in hand, an ancient sky screen suddenly spanned the heavens, launching a grand chronicle of history’s most defiant empress!

As her humiliating past, earth-defying trump cards, and path to the throne were revealed to the world...

The Wanli Emperor was consumed by regret, the Crown Prince was scared out of his wits, the entire court fell silent, the cavalry beyond the passes trembled in fear, and emperors of every dynasty applauded from afar.
