In a parallel world, the Great Sui dynasty has stood for 260 years. Foreign tribes invade, bandits run rampant, and oppressive taxes leave the people suffering. Women's lives are worth less than an ant's.
Zheng Wei, a police force elite who retired due to her injuries, poured everything into running Qishanhai, a seaside resort hotel.
But on the eve of its opening, her enemy Fu Yuanchuan showed up with assassins.
Her employees were brutally killed, and the hotel was destroyed. Zheng Wei perished along with her enemies in an explosion.
After death, she transmigrates into a concubine-born daughter of the Zheng family, abandoned by her clan and forced to become someone's concubine.
The hotel employees who were killed in her previous life, her enemies, and the assassins all transmigrated to this world in the explosion as well.
Qishanhai Seaside Hotel becomes Zheng Wei's golden finger.
Unexpectedly, her enemies from her previous life also have their own extraordinary fortunes: a powerful eunuch who holds the title of Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, the heir to the foremost aristocratic clan, and the third princess of a prairie empire all make their entrances. The realm descends into chaos.
Zheng Wei opens restaurants, promotes agriculture, builds fortified settlements, gathers displaced people, and reunites with her former employees one by one.
She cultivates loyal followers, takes control of iron and coal mines, establishes workshops, and opens trade routes connecting north and south.
Using Xuzhou as her base, she builds up her strength and rises step by step amid the chaos, becoming a powerful force greatly admired by the people.
In the end, she sweeps aside her rivals, overthrows the old order, and establishes a new dynasty where farmers own their land, everyone can go to school, and women have complete control over their own fates.
She becomes the greatest empress in history!
