When Ma Yue was a child and cried because she wanted to go to school, her parents always answered coldly:
“What use is there in a girl getting so much education? The most important thing is to find a good man and marry him…”
She refused to give up and wanted to make her way in a big city, but all her efforts came to nothing. Her parents drove her to her death…
Reborn at the end of a dynasty, she knows that one frail woman can't change the hearts of the people under heaven.
If she gets another chance, all she wants is for her father to raise her until she's sixteen,
then to find a six-foot-one, six-pack-having man to be her mom and raise her until she's forty.
When she's old, she'll let her children support her until she dies, and that'll be enough.
She never expected, through a twist of fate, to become the only scabbard capable of calming the emperor. While all the ministers tremble beneath the emperor's butcher's knife,
the empress cries, “Spare them!”
