Reborn as the Empress Dowager of the Imperial Harem

A poison doctor is reborn, and from the start, she's the empress dowager!

Fu Miao, heir to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, actually poisoned herself to death. Her soul then transmigrated into the body of a good-for-nothing young lady from the Minister of Rites' family. Before she could enjoy her immense new wealth, she was chosen as the new empress to an old emperor. But just after the wedding ceremony, the old emperor dropped dead. She went straight from empress to empress dowager. The good news: she outranked everyone. The bad news: she had little real power. The new emperor, Nangong Ruyi, was suspicious of her; the mysterious physician Yu Qingxin was stirring up trouble; there were the young widow and orphan the old emperor left behind, along with a whole pack of daughters-in-law who treated palace intrigue as a hobby...

With a “step-son” and a troublesome harem on one side, and her old rival from her past life causing trouble everywhere on the other, watch as this young empress dowager brings the palace to heel!
