Oh No, My Generals and Strategists Have One-Sided Crushes on Me?

[Chaotic Times] [System] [Disguised as a Man in the Early and Middle Stages] [Nation-Building] [Multiple Unrequited Loves]

Zhao Dan transmigrates to ancient times and becomes the daughter of a feudal lord, a girl who should have been stillborn.

Fortunately, the System of Wise Rulers bound to her uses up its energy to keep her barely alive. Though she survives in frail health, her noble birth and wealthy household can easily support a sickly princess.

However, that doesn't mean she can rest easy.

Bad news 1: The System's energy can probably sustain Zhao Dan's life for only about twelve years. To keep living, she has to complete System missions.

Bad news 2: Women aren't allowed to participate in government. Though she's her father's only child, he has already decided to adopt his nephew as his heir. Zhao Dan can't even complete the System's first mission.

Many years later, Zhao Dan fights her way through an age of warlords and rival lords, then ascends the throne as emperor, wearing the twelve-strand crown, as her subjects celebrate.

Zhao Dan: Thanks for asking. I never want to see another age of chaos, with miles of barren land, rampant plagues, and bones strewn across the wilderness.

Jiang Heng, her former fiance whose engagement was annulled: The realm is at peace now. What do I have to do to become my lord's empress?

Bai Feng, her loyal subordinate through and through: My lord, I don't want to outshine you. May I request a place in the palace?

A Huan, her maid who rose to become a female general: Princess... There are things I probably shouldn't say, but I want to tell you...

Qin Zheng, leader of the elite assassins: The empire at peace has no need for assassins. May I enter the palace and find a post?

Qin Xiao, a civil official turned general: My lord, I'd like to find a post in the palace too, just like my younger brother.
