Your Highness, the Empress Dowager Is Expecting

One startling dream later, a top-secret agent in a phoenix crown and bridal robes had become the legitimate daughter of the Mo family, married into the imperial palace.

The realm was in chaos, and a treacherous minister seized the throne. She had barely settled into her place as empress before the dynasty changed and she became the Empress Dowager. Worse still, she was pregnant and had no idea who the father was!

Was she destined to be condemned by everyone and reviled for all eternity?

Her stepmother and half-sister came to freeload? “Guards, slap them a thousand times each!”

The emperor’s birth mother came to bully her? “Guards, send her to the Cold Palace!”

The emperor’s consorts misbehaved? “Guards, reward them with white silk and poisoned wine!”

With little time left to live, she decided to throw caution to the wind. She could nurture her pregnancy in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, hold court in the Golden Throne Hall, and reshape the fate of the Great Zhou dynasty with a smile.

But the Prince of Zhennan in the history books was peerlessly handsome and ruthless. Why was he so gentle and handsome around her, like a young man barely twenty from next door?
