[Romance + transmigration + building a career + clear-headed heroine VS devoted male lead + intelligent ensemble cast + alternate history + win-win] Gu Yihuan, a history student on the verge of earning her master's degree, died while working as an extra and transmigrated to Anqi, a peaceful but complacent and hidebound kingdom. To make matters worse, she became the mad, villainous empress everyone wanted gone.
The ministers demanded that the emperor depose her.
The addled System ordered Gu Yihuan to play the villainous empress.
The devoted emperor said that whoever tried to depose the empress would be deposed themselves.
But Gu Yihuan said, “My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's. I get to decide what kind of person I become.”
So, since Anqi's ministers liked meddling in the emperor's family affairs, she taught the emperor to give them a taste of their own medicine.
She formed an alliance with the emperor.
The ministers liked meddling in the emperor's life and choosing wives for him. The empress dowager was also keen on sending him wives. They all liked arranging women's destinies.
Step by step, Gu Yihuan led women to the heights of the officialdom that men were proudest of, overturning the rotten table of male supremacy.
But the ministers said that Her Majesty had done a splendid job flipping the table, and that if Gu Yihuan was a villainous empress, then they were all treacherous ministers.
One day,
the foolish emperor and villainous empress, who should have died together in disgrace, became famous across the land.
The System could only say, “Host, telling you to be a villainous empress was all a misunderstanding...”
What happens to them later? Give happiness
