[Two strong leads, 1v1, satisfying face-slapping]
When Yang Sai was sixteen, her father, brothers, and uncles all died on the battlefield, leaving behind a household full of women. In the eyes of the powerful in the capital, the Yang family looked like a duck ready to be snatched right off the table.
Wolves circled on every side, all coveting the Yang family's power and wealth.
After learning there might be more to her father and brothers' deaths, she chose to return to Chang'an and leap headfirst into the capital's political whirlpool.
She battles her fourth uncle, takes on the empress, and finally faces off against the eldest princess.
To keep military power from falling into someone else's hands, she has no choice but to find one of the princes to marry. That way, she can use her status as an imperial consort to take charge of the family.
Even she didn't expect that she had made the perfect bet.
Later, the seemingly unremarkable and easy-to-control Fourth Prince she chose wins the battle among the nine princes to become emperor. He abolishes the imperial harem and makes her empress, allowing Yang Sai to fulfill her childhood wish of having one partner for life.
It's just that the husband she picked up along the way is a little clingy. After becoming emperor, he's become even more shameless about playing the pig to eat the tiger, acting pitiful, and throwing tantrums.
“Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The emperor has fainted again, and he wants you to go see him.”
“Liu Jinting, if you keep pretending, I'll break both your legs!”
I just started watching it, but what should I do? From the plot to the writing, I like it. It's really good.
