She is an independent, self-reliant modern office worker. But when she wakes up, she has transmigrated into the “deposed empress,” banished by the emperor to the Cold Palace. Once surrounded by fine clothes and good food, she now has a tumbledown house and a cold stove. Her only companion is Qingqing, her personal maid. Her former noble status has crumbled to dust.
But she refuses to accept her fate or bow her head!
In the Cold Palace, she clears land and farms, raises chickens and cooks, makes her own seasonings, and improves her living conditions. With modern knowledge and a stubborn spirit, she turns a desolate patch of land into a pastoral haven.
Meanwhile, a mysterious assassin quietly draws near, and a forbidden romance begins to bud. A loyal guard watches over her in silence, and a deep bond quietly takes root.
And even more unexpectedly, she activates a mysterious [Countryside System], which lets her level up her farming skills, unlock rare seeds, buy and sell goods, and exchange for supplies. It can even... influence the affairs of the court!
From “deposed empress” to “queen of the Cold Palace,” then to the “mistress of her own freedom” who escapes alive, she writes a tale of an astonishing comeback with her courage and intelligence!
