The Empress Wants No Romance, but the Villainous Minister Insists on Taking Responsibility

Zhou Ning believes she traveled to the modern era and back in order to change the times. She helped Song Qi ascend the throne, but then he suddenly brought home a pregnant woman. One partner for life, from beginning to end: it was all a joke. From the moment she declared that she would never share her husband with another woman, she was challenging the entire patriarchy. At last, Zhou Ning came to her senses. She would have to choose between love and power. She wanted to become the Empress Dowager, and the Director of the Eastern Depot wanted to become a powerful minister. The two hit it off immediately. Song Qi died of illness. Zhou Ning got her wish, and the Director became a regent with power over the entire court. The young emperor rebelled. The regent gave a scornful laugh. “He won't listen? Then we'll replace him with someone who will.” Zhou Ning asked, “Do you really want to be a treacherous minister?” “Empress Dowager, don't get upset. The young emperor listens to me, and I listen to Your Majesty in every matter outside of certain times.” “You libertine.”
