Shen Jinghong, a modern history whiz, a hopeless romantic, and a face-obsessed beauty, died suddenly and transmigrated into the abandoned Seventh Princess Zhao Lingyang, confined to the cold palace of the Great Yong dynasty. Bound to the “Empress Development System,” she was given one goal: ascend the throne! A hellish start? She calmly revealed a maxed-out skill tree: historical strategy to break deadlocks, modern medicine to fight epidemics, and ingenious ideas in agriculture and industry to strengthen the nation. With the System’s support, she could scan and analyze everything, advancing with care at every step.
Even better, her fantasies about handsome men came true! Four peerless consorts each brought their own talents to help her conquer the realm:
Top Scholar Xie Ci: Gentle as jade, he plotted and strategized beneath his refined, teasing words, determined to be the “mastermind behind her moves.”
Young General Xiao Ce: A loyal, devoted warrior who shielded her from every blade, his armor drenched in blood. His possessive confessions were clumsy but burning with passion.
Tycoon Gu Yanzhi: Shrewd and calculating, he paved the way to the throne with a fortune beyond compare, building her a golden house to win her smile.
Shadow Guard Ye Chen: Silent as a shadow, bound to her by the System in life and death, he offered his broken body in absolute submission.
From a hidden dragon in the cold palace to the founding Empress, Shen Jinghong used her left hand to create the “Prosperous Era of Qisheng”: opening the imperial examinations to women, advancing industry, and reforming agriculture, her wisdom unrivaled throughout history. With her right hand, she sat firmly upon the phoenix throne and watched the romantic rivalries unfold: vying for her favor in the imperial study, competing in beauty at palace banquets, and causing a commotion while tending to her when she was ill... The most handsome men in the land openly and secretly fought for the favor of a single night.
Sharing her bed? It was both the Empress’s favor and a matter of statecraft! Xie Ci’s elegant flirtations, Xiao Ce’s blood-soaked offerings, Gu Yanzhi’s lavish golden house, Ye Chen’s sacrificial submission... Every time she summoned one of them, their bodies and souls became bound to hers, and she absorbed “Phoenix Essence.” Rebel remnants, foreign enemies, and mysteries surrounding her birth came one after another. From the phoenix throne, she looked down upon all living things: she would hold both the vast realm and her peerless consorts firmly in her grasp! Witness how an Empress commands the world and enjoys the pinnacle of female supremacy!
