[A deranged, scheming heroine x a beautiful, lovesick Imperial Preceptor]
[An all-villain cast + an empowering power fantasy + court intrigue + multiple heroines + an ensemble cast]
Chu Mingzhao, a cold palace princess whose eyes were gouged out and fingers severed, is reborn at the age of fifteen. In her left hand, she holds a glass mirror that can foretell the future; in her right, puppet strings that force people to tell the truth. This time, she has no intention of being a virtuous, demure young lady. She is determined to become a mad empress who throws the court into chaos!
“Since everyone says women should be gentle and obedient, I'll climb to the throne over the heads of every official in the court!”
“My imperial brother's position as Crown Prince is secure? Tonight I'll make him dream of the late emperor coming to claim his life!”
“An alliance through marriage between the great houses? Fine. Once I take every legitimate son of your families into my harem!”
From a crippled girl in the cold palace to the supreme ruler, Chu Mingzhao drives the entire court mad with three lines:
“First: I will take part in government.”
“Second: I will become emperor.”
“Third: Anyone who disobeys will die.”
