In her previous eight lives, she died before turning twenty. In her ninth, Yue Tuya enters the game as a strategist, swearing to shatter the curse that has doomed her to die young!

You say a woman cannot become emperor? Then look beneath these palace steps:
Kneeling there are the heads of your own kin;
Flowing there is the blood of your disciples;
And beneath my feet lies the thousand-year-old dragon vein of the Jiuyou Continent!
This will be my age!
