The Outcast: Empress Arc

“If you cannot defend the people and their land, how can you call yourself a ruler? Generals die in a hundred battles; the brave return after ten years. What a shame to be born a woman in such turbulent times.”

After ten years in the apocalypse, Gong Shuiyun transmigrates as the Empress in The Outcast. In this life, she is no longer an empress who lets her feelings rule her. She is a cold-blooded queen who knows herself and feels nothing.

“Ladies, would you care to join me in admiring these magnificent mountains and rivers?”

Li Xingyun: “I’m a prince. King of Qi, you keep giving away women and men. Once you’ve given everyone away, are you going to give away the Empress too?”

The Empress gave a mocking laugh.

“An heir of the former dynasty, merely playing along for appearances, and you actually took it seriously?”

Li Maozhen: “Royal Sister, I’ve brought back the Azure Dragon inkstone you love most. Go paint this vast realm of yours, and our parents and brothers living in peace, untouched by worldly strife.”

The Empress held her blade to Li Maozhen’s neck.

“Royal Brother, you’re right. I’ve changed a lot in sixteen years, but I cannot hand Qi over to you…”

Li Siyuan: “I’ll protect your royal brother’s legacy for you, Empress.”

“Hah. I don’t even take your father, Li Keyong, seriously. Li Siyuan, who do you think you are? You think those pathetic little schemes of yours belong on the grand stage?”

“When the Five Barbarians ravaged China, the people were scattered and men proved useless. Why can’t I, the King of Qi, bring this age of chaos to an end?”
