I’m the Power Behind the Throne in a Matriarchal Dynasty

Feng Lingxiao, the formidable female general who guards the northern frontier of a woman-led dynasty, has won countless victories, yet finds herself trapped by the emperor's suspicions and the shackles of her gender.

Shen Mo, a modern-day wage slave, is thrown by a car accident into this strange world where women reign supreme.

When they first meet on the battlefield, she is the commander who has picked up a “trophy from another world,” while he is a penniless prisoner who cannot speak the local language.

From conversations written on paper late at night to war-game simulations, from clever strategies that defeat the enemy to risking their lives to save each other, he brings ideas that outshine his era, and she gives those ideas the power to burn through every obstacle.

They go from a suspicious general and her prisoner to a strategist and sovereign who would entrust their lives to each other, and then to lovers who understand one another completely.

But extraordinary achievements only earn them deeper suspicion. The day of their triumphant return is also the day the snare closes around them.

When the mighty female general is summoned back to the cannibalistic capital, and hidden poisoned arrows emerge alongside Northern Di spies...

Watch as a modern-day wage slave and an ancient female general join forces to break through the deadlock, carve out a path to survival amid the chaos of this woman-led dynasty, and ultimately choose a sky of their own.
