Cool, stunning empress × domineering, trashy heartthrob of an emperor

From being deposed and confined to the Cold Palace from the start to wielding power over the realm by the end.

When Yang Xinrou transmigrates into this dynasty, the woman whose body she inhabits is in the middle of hanging herself.

It turns out the original owner was a complete failure as empress. Abused by her stepmother since childhood, she had developed an irredeemable servile nature and never dared to defy anyone. Even though she was the empress, no one in the palace paid her the slightest attention.

After transmigrating:

“Your Majesty, my elder sister is jealous and beat me!”

“Oh? My empress has learned to hit back!”

“Your Majesty, the empress spent a hundred taels of gold rewarding a dancer!”

“Then give the empress another hundred.”

“Your Majesty, that wicked girl killed her own mother right in front of me! How vicious!”

“Then you must have been bullying my empress. Marquis Wu'an, you can no longer serve as an official if you can’t tell right from wrong.”

The harmonious relationship between the emperor and empress became the talk of the palace, until the day the empress discovered the truth behind His Majesty’s lavish affection for her.

…

Years later, a man lies on the bed, grief written across his face. “You really aren’t her anymore?”

Yang Xinrou replies, “Your Majesty, the old Yang Xinrou died the day you married the Noble Consort.”

By the end, the heroine’s childhood sweetheart from her own time becomes a powerful minister, her long-lost younger brother is the realm’s foremost general, and she brings the entire Great Feng under her control.

P.S. The first twenty chapters mainly focus on the heroine’s background and the emperor’s sweet, doting everyday behavior. The palace intrigue kicks into high gear after that.
