A spirited young woman of the twenty-first century, upright and brilliant, a pillar of her country: why has she transmigrated into Pan Jinlian, the woman everyone despises?
Gu Qin couldn’t understand it, and was utterly shocked.
Should I just drink a bowl of poison and end it? If I don’t die now, Wu Song will kill me when he gets back.
Wait, I haven’t even hit Ximen Qing with the pole yet? I’ve only just been sold to Wu the Elder?
Then maybe there’s still hope for me.
First, I’ll end my marriage to Wu the Elder, help him expand his business, and build up his wealth. Surely Wu Song won’t kill me when he gets back this time?
Well, he didn’t kill me. He wants to sleep with me.
On three trips to Liangshan, she protects Chao Gai, saves San Niang, recruits talent, drinks with Xiao Qi, and spars with Lin Chong. She may not be the leader, but she might as well be.
She establishes a stronghold in the Taihang Mountains, spirits Yue Fei away, and draws in famous generals such as Han Shizhong and Zong Ze, holding the northern gateway to the Song Empire.
I’ve had enough of being a Lady. I want to be a Duchess.
If the Duchess of Qin becomes the King of Qin, what’s so strange about that?
And once you’re the King of Qin, everyone knows what happens to the King of Qin in history: he ends up becoming emperor!
A short skit:
Minister: Your Majesty, abdicate. How can you spend so much money even as a puppet emperor?
Emperor Qinzong of Song: What’s wrong? Am I not the emperor you love anymore? Sob, sob...
Emperor Qinzong tearfully finds Gu Qin: If I abdicate in your favor, will you make me a king? I want fine wine and splendid clothes, three thousand beauties, and a palace of my own!
Gu Qin: I think you’d be better off sent to the grasslands to herd sheep with your father.
Emperor Qinzong: ...All right, I’ll abdicate at once.
