In her previous life, Shen Qingluo suffered endless humiliation because her family fell from power and her rank was low. Reborn, she vows to become an empress of the highest rank, with power to cover the heavens and control everything with one hand.
Reborn, Shen Qingluo is still the foremost young lady of a distinguished family in the capital. But as the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, she seems to have everything maxed out, with a direct path to the top!
She studies dance, and one breathtaking dance makes her famous across the land. She studies calligraphy, and one volume of “Cloud-Watching Strategies” earns her a reputation far and wide. She studies music, and no one can rival her performance of “Prelude to the Konghou.” She studies medicine and becomes a living bodhisattva, saving the suffering. She studies chess, and all the powerful people in the land become her pieces!
Reborn, Yun Yao is no longer the discarded, useless prince everyone took him for. He is now a calculating crown prince, rising ever higher.
He plots and plans with painstaking care, establishing the Lightfeather Cavalry, an airtight force that strikes fear into all his enemies, and secretly founding the “Spiderweb,” a mysterious assassination organization that can uncover any secret in the world.
Everything he does is only to secure an empress’s throne for Shen Qingluo.
Shen Qingluo works tirelessly to make herself empress, but what is going on? Her younger brother, Shen Yao, keeps sabotaging her!
When the crown prince invites her to see the flowers, he secretly fills the whole flower garden with spiders, and their webs cover all the blossoms.
When the newly prominent General Lang invites her on an outing, a scandal breaks the next day about his mistress showing up at his home.
He ruins all her plans, then clings to her arm with a pitiful pout and whines, “If you want to be empress, then be my empress, okay, Sis? It’s all the same whose empress you are anyway.”
