Reborn, the princess tears apart her brocade gown, cuts off her cascading hair, and rides forth with a spear to conquer the realm!
“From today on, there will be only the brilliant and talented Young Master Eleven. There will never again be a Princess Eleven at the mercy of others!”
The most dazzling of the Ying Kingdom’s princesses, she held in her hands inventions that astonished the world. She sowed grain that yielded a thousand catties per acre, spun the cotton clothes that kept the border troops warm, and was the “Goddess” praised by all the people!
Yet one sigh from her father, the emperor, sealed more than a decade of her accomplishments and affection beneath the shackles of her title: “If only A Yue had been born a boy!”
The new emperor ascended the throne and slaughtered the imperial family.
The younger brother she had once helped personally had her torn limb from limb!
A princess born to wealth and privilege? Nothing more than the most splendid sacrifice on the altar of power.
[She wields the power of men in a woman's body]
She conceals her System and keeps her brilliance hidden, then stuns everyone in the imperial examinations and outshines the scholars.
She commands the troops and guards the borders, driving the enemy back a thousand miles with an iron fist and striking fear into the court.
She establishes trading houses and controls the grain routes, drawing all the wealth of the realm into her grasp and seizing the empire’s lifeline...
The father who once sighed now trusts and relies on her, calling her “the pride of our family.”
In this life, she will grind his words, “If only you had been born a boy,” into dust with her own hands.
And she will repay the agony of being torn apart a hundredfold!
“Not so fast... Little Brother, your big sister is sending you down to meet the King of Hell!”
