Shu Yao, the thirteenth-generation heir to Huaxia’s mystic arts, opens her eyes to find herself the eldest legitimate daughter of the Shu family, raised in the countryside.
With her medical skills and secret arts, she’s a peerless beauty!
As a woman, she establishes herself at court. Using mystic arts to command the wind and rain, she roots out corrupt officials and supports the weak, rising step by step to the pinnacle of power.
Then one day, a scheming crown prince pins her to the empress’s throne and forces her onto his bandwagon.
By day, she’s a brilliant strategist. By night, she’s a bewitching empress who fills the bedchamber with her fragrance!
Shu Yao: I was supposed to have a lazy, carefree life. Who swapped out my script?
Her stepsister, left questioning her entire existence after being roasted by the eldest daughter: I swear, Big Sis looks at us like we’re nothing but trouble!
Her younger brother, toughened up and taught a lesson in how to behave after getting beaten by Big Sis: Be bold. Drop the “I swear”!
The second young lady of the Shu household, driven into silence by the eldest daughter, earnestly ticks off answers to the question of whether Big Sis is good for anything. She can exorcise evil spirits, catch ghosts, draw talismans, heal the sick, grow crops, and run a business. Wait, which one did you ask about?
Later, someone asks Shu Yao what her dream would be if she could live her life over again.
After a long silence, Shu Yao replies: I want to stay out of trouble and coast through a hundred years!
It's very interesting, the plot is novel and interesting, the characters are all very distinct, and there's nothing vulgar about it. It's just that the language is too modern, and it's a bit awkward for the ancients to use modern words from time to time. The ending is very happy, but there are still a few holes that have not been filled. For example, the heroine's rouge shop and fortune-telling shop have not been opened. The investigation of the young lady's account has not been completed after three days, the remnants of the Xuanling Sect have not been arrested, the snow disaster has not happened, and the eldest princess has not been brought back. Looking back, I realize that this timeline is actually quite short. Every day is filled with a lot of things and is very fulfilling. Looking at how much I have written, it actually only lasts a few days. It felt like it was over in a snap, but it wasn't sloppy. 😄
The scene where the heroine teaches the family a lesson was so enjoyable to watch, she should have been slapped hard in the face.
It's beautiful! It's beautiful! It's beautiful!
Simple and clear, I like it very much!
I'm an old bookworm. This is the first time I've seen such a different ancient novel. It's not the same old book. I'm looking forward to the follow-up.
Shu Yao is not only very capable, but also a bit sinister and has a sharp tongue. I really love her.
I just like this kind of heroine who is very capable and will not be wronged.
Shu Yao's Xuanmen secret skills are really powerful.
The heroine is so versatile and very lovable, and the family atmosphere is also very happy. She is not like the kind of Yali Shanda who is bitter and hateful.
The book is so wonderful, each link is linked to the other, making people linger and want to read it again.
