My Aunt Is the Empress

From the day she was born, Cen Ji had always thought herself extraordinary. Then she accidentally discovered that the words “My aunt is the empress” could make her invincible, and began her own career of throwing her weight around. When she ran into her longtime nemesis and couldn’t beat them, no problem: “My aunt is the empress!” When she saw injustice and was filled with righteous indignation, no problem: “My aunt is the empress!” When she was treated unfairly and couldn’t make herself heard, no problem: “My aunt is the empress!” After a lifetime of throwing her weight around, Cen Ji couldn’t help thinking that power really was a wonderful thing. Of course, she paid plenty of “prices” along the way, spending much of her time with a sore backside. Still, whenever trouble arose, she would loudly proclaim, “My aunt is the empress!” As an adult, Cen Ji gradually left behind her shallow way of throwing her weight around and embarked on a different path, one called “Do your duty in the position you hold.” “I must live up to everything I have.” “Of everyone under heaven, I am the best person for this.” Theme: Do your duty in the position you hold. “Fairness” does not bow to “injustice”
