Synopsis

I, Li Ran, am the chancellor of the Great Chu.

Entrusted by the late emperor to care for his successor, I had intended to faithfully assist the newly enthroned empress.

But then I activated the powerful minister System, which makes me stronger as long as I control the court.

So I began eliminating rivals, slaughtering loyal officials, dominating the court, coercing the sovereign, and wearing my sword and shoes into the palace, even spending the night in the imperial bed...

I, Zhao Ehuang, am the empress of the Great Chu.

In my previous life, I endured humiliation for ten years before finally killing Li Ran, the powerful minister who held sway over the court and plunged it into chaos.

I thought that once I took the reins of government, I could restore order and bring peace to the realm.

Who knew that the news would plunge the whole country into chaos?

The court was thrown into turmoil, the entire nation rebelled, and enemy states invaded...

In less than half a year, the Great Chu was destroyed.

Only on the brink of death did I finally understand: without Li Ran, I couldn’t hold on to the Great Chu throne.

Reborn into a new life, I’ll not only do everything I can to support Li Ran as he becomes a powerful minister, I’ll marry him too!

Guys, I don't want historical dynasties from Chinese history. I want a fictional dynasty that never existed in history. I read everyone's replies one by one, but they were all about the Tang, Ming, Qin, and so on. That's not what I'm looking for.
