[Strong Female Lead + Seizing Power + Strategy + Conquest] A tale of political intrigue at its core, with romance as a sideline. There is a CP, both leads are devoted to each other, and there is a System.
After transmigrating and becoming empress, Zhong Yinru faced a shattered court. Learning from the bitter experience, she decided to take her husband, an emperor who was good for nothing but his looks, and conquer the realm!
Though she had nothing, and faced an empty treasury, military power slipping away, a starving populace, and corrupt officials, she had the System of a Virtuous Empress!
With the System on her side, she could recruit famous ministers and loyal servants with ease!
The divine physician Bian Que could help her save lives. The bewitching consort Daji could help her throw the powerful ministers into chaos. The renowned general Bai Qi could help her conquer territory in every direction!
What's more, the System could show her how much each faction favored her. Once a faction's favor reached a certain level, she could issue the command “Serve me as your master,” and they would be unwaveringly loyal to her from then on!
With this treasure at her side, Zhong Yinru, who had been freakishly strong since childhood but was otherwise useless, immediately felt like she could take on the world. Clutching her System, she was eager to make her mark on the Great Hong!
She would take on princes, bring powerful ministers to heel, expand the harem, reform the imperial examinations, punish corrupt officials and amass wealth, build weapons, and conquer nations. Anything a man could do, a woman could do just as well!
But...
As she tirelessly worked to strengthen imperial power, how had the useless beauty at her side suddenly become a master of hidden skills, capable of leading troops into battle?
A money-loving, scheming powerhouse of a girl VS a seemingly delicate, scheming emperor
