Rebirth ✘ Strong Female Lead ✘ Transmigrate into a Book ✘ Family and Country ✘ Political Intrigue
She married the foolish Crown Prince at fifteen.
The emperor’s favor was impossible to predict, and under his watchful eye, she had to tread carefully.
Her brother died for no apparent reason, her father was poisoned, and before long, her mother passed away, too.
Unable to protect even herself, she could only keep a low profile, endure, disguise herself, and obey.
Then the emperor died, and the idiotic Crown Prince ascended the throne. She became empress.
She turned the tide as the realm teetered on the brink of collapse.
She purged the court, promoted men of humble origins, and curbed the powerful nobility.
After more than a decade of rule, peace and prosperity prevailed.
Later, when Prince Zhao rebelled, she was forced to drink poison and take her own life.
Her crimes? Debauchery, bringing ruin to the realm, cruel tyranny, and utter incompetence!
Every kind of slander was heaped upon her.
The achievements of her ten years in power were rewritten beyond recognition.
One day, she awoke back at the age of fifteen.
She swore never to enter the palace in this life.
She made plans in advance, protected her family, and eliminated her enemies.
She secretly trained a personal guard and sent them to serve beside various officials.
She also placed them beside Prince Zhao, Prince Yan, and even the rulers of other countries.
If the Li family had no one fit to rule in this life,
then she would topple the realm and take the throne herself!
In this life, she would rather wrong the whole world than let the whole world wrong her!
She meets seventeen-year-old Xie Lianqing.
Once again, his “Ode to the Swan Goose” surpasses all works past and present.
Two wounded souls embrace in the darkness.
He smiles gently. “Go. Do what you want. I’ll always be right behind you.”
