After Years of Service, I’m Sentenced to Death. She Panics When I Found My Own Kingdom

[Empress]+ [Alternate history]+ [Struggle for supremacy]+ [Regret]+ [Ensemble cast]

From the start, Qin Yue is away commanding troops to unify the realm for Great Chu when the empress suddenly sends him thirteen successive golden edicts ordering his death! Qin Yue refuses to put up with it. Instead, he founds his own state and goes it alone!

With no one to restrain her and all power in her hands, Empress Xiang Qi is smug and triumphant.

She turns her attention to the kingdoms of the Nine Provinces, and even to her own Chu court.

She treats memorials of advice like death warrants and slaughters loyal officials.

Convinced she can lead Chu to glory, she discovers that the state treasury has been emptied.

When she finally looks back, treacherous ministers have surrounded her.

And things get even more ridiculous.

A master of meddling in military affairs, she leads Chu's armies to one defeat after another, constantly sending supplies to enemy states.

She personally leads a campaign, then flees for her life in a donkey cart, earning the title “Chariot God of Gaoliang River.”

She appoints herself grand general, only to be captured. Her name as the “Emperor Who Opens the Gates” resounds across the realm.

As the kingdoms of the Nine Provinces steadily carve up Chu's territory and march right up to its capital,

Empress Xiang Qi is stunned.

Watching the Qian state grow ever stronger, she sheds regretful tears. “Qin Yue, for the sake of your service as Chu's chancellor, please send troops to save Chu!”

Qin Yue plants a foot on her head. “I know you're panicking, but don't rush. I want to see you keep making a mess of things!”
