Summary: This is the story of a woman who couldn’t become empress in her last life, so in this life she decides to become empress even if she has to find a different emperor.
You could call that striving to get ahead.
In her previous life, Liu Heng married her childhood sweetheart but became only a noble consort.
Still, life as the emperor’s wife rather than the empress was actually more carefree. She had no responsibilities and could simply enjoy herself. It was wonderful.
Until the frog was boiled alive in slowly warming water, and only when it was dead did it realize everything had been a lie.
Given a second chance, if you show no mercy, neither will I. Rather than wait for him to discard me once he’s served his purpose, I’ll make sure he never gets the chance to rise to power.
But then came the problem: power struggles have always been ruthless. Changing the person holding the knife doesn’t mean the knife will be kinder to you. And as for being the bug crushed beneath it? Don’t be foolish. You’ll die even faster.
After much soul-searching, Liu Heng decided she had to take control of her own fate. Since no one else was reliable, she might as well do it herself. So she asked her man, “Can you do it?”
Her husband only wanted to lie flat at home with his wife, and frowned in displeasure. But when he saw the warning in her eyes, he immediately gave in. “Of course I can. Whatever you want, I can do.”
The male lead seems like an unhinged maniac, but he’s really a loyal dog.
The female lead half-heartedly figures out how to train him.
The author’s in charge, not the characters. Things may change at any time later on, but the main plot won’t.
Lots of made-up details, so don’t scrutinize them too closely.
The heroine's hardware is not good. She only has the memory of her past life, but her strength cannot keep up. She is constrained in everything she does~
