(The main story is complete) [Female-led story] [Tearing down scoundrels and face-slapping] [Feel-good read] [Nation and family] [Business] [Political intrigue] [Female-centered]
Her battle-hardened fiance returns in triumph, but brings a mistress home with him.
At the victory banquet, Zhaoyang awakens to the script of a villainous supporting character and foresees the miserable future awaiting her.
Xiao Qi publicly asks to marry his mistress and flaunts himself before her, turning seven years of her life into a joke.
Everyone thinks she'll cling to him desperately, but Zhaoyang does the opposite: she takes down the scoundrel and beats the concubine.
Xiao Qi regrets it and begs to reconcile, but she turns him away.
Liu Qingqing fakes a pregnancy, and she pretends to watch the show.
Just when everyone thinks she's given up on life, she starts acting completely unhinged.
She takes control of the treasury, fights the scoundrel, and takes down the mistress... She runs the imperial trading houses, turns the tide, and step by step ascends to the supreme throne as empress.
The villain?
She's the villain. She is absolutely powerful and confident, and completely true to herself. She is the protagonist of her own story.
Later...
Xiao Qi asks, "Can you love me one more time?"
Zhaoyang: "Get lost!"
Male lead: "Wait for me..."
Zhaoyang: "You get lost too!"
She severs attachment and breaks the cycle of reincarnation.
She commands all under Heaven, eternal and unchanging, enduring for all time.
