Nine Dragons Vie for the Throne: The Princess Is About to Ascend, Mother Empress, Please Die

[Female-Dominated World] [Power Struggles] [Many Beautiful Men and Women]

The Empress is a wise ruler of her generation, and several of the elder princesses are heaven-blessed talents in their own right. Each has her own designs on the throne beneath their mother's seat. The Great Yong boasts vast lands and stunning beauty. Who wouldn't want it all?

As the youngest, the Sixteenth Princess, Yong Rongruo naturally wants to take her mother's place. But the Crown Princess, Yong Rongdan, is the most important person in her heart. For the sake of Crown Princess Dan, Yong Rongruo would willingly bow her head and serve as a subject.

But her elder sister dies an untimely death. Yong Rongruo thinks: even if she must kill every sister and close relative and bathe the capital of Yong in blood, everyone who hurt her sister must die! There is just one person she cannot bring herself to kill.

The Thirteenth Prince, Yong Zijian, has been spoiled since childhood. He has nine sisters, and even the youngest, the sickly Sixteenth Princess, is a rare talent. The siblings have always been deeply devoted to one another.

He believes his sisters are so close that they would never turn against each other, even though he treats his Sixteenth Imperial Sister poorly and bullied her often when they were young.

He never expected his Third Imperial Sister to die unexpectedly, or her fiancé to be betrothed to the Sixteenth Princess.

Later, the struggle for the throne turns brutal, with every contender resorting to ruthless methods.

Least of all does he expect the Sixteenth Princess to ascend the throne. After killing all her sisters, she wipes out the families of her father, her husband, her teacher, and her friends... She even kills the woman who is his wife in name. As for Yong Zijian, when it is revealed that he is not the Empress's biological son, he is exiled to the border and dies on the way.

Reborn into a new life, Yong Zijian knows he cannot change the larger course of events, but at least he can change his own fate. He is going to make a friend of his Sixteenth Imperial Sister!
