Yuan Zhuo, the eldest princess of the Dasheng Dynasty, was born in the decadent imperial palace. Her biological mother was wronged and died young. She has been hiding in cold eyes and conspiracies since she was a child. She pretends to be gentle, but in fact she has developed a heart of stone and a sharp eye for understanding the world. A frame-up drug plot against her became the fuse that ignited the fire of revenge. She struck back with thunder and showed her talents for the first time, but was forced to leave the capital and go to the barren fiefdom.
Leaving Beijing is not an exile, but a retreat into the abyss. Based on her fiefdom, she secretly planned: reclaiming wasteland, establishing trade, training elite soldiers, and weaving a spy network. She also recruited amazing counselors, humble generals, and wealthy merchants to form a team. When the emperor was critically ill and the capital was in chaos, she returned brazenly with her powerful army and advisers, and became involved in the bloody court game as the eldest princess.
From then on, she used power in her left hand and weapons in her right hand. Provoking political enemies, eradicating relatives, bloodbathing eunuchs, suppressing clan rebellions... Step by step, crushing all the enemies who had bullied and framed them in the past. The Queen Mother died, the powerful ministers were executed, the eunuchs were destroyed, and the obstacles to the supreme position were eliminated one by one. In the end, she deposed the mediocre young emperor, fought against all opinions, and ruled the world, becoming the first female emperor since the founding of Dasheng.
Being on the throne is not the end. The powerful nobles inside are fighting back, and Di Rong's cavalry is knocking on the door outside. The empress Yuan Zhuo takes charge of the world, implements the New Deal, eliminates officialdom, and conducts military campaigns in person. She stopped killing with killing, stopped war with fighting, finally pacified the world, created an unprecedented prosperous age, truly brought the world under her feet, and completed a peerless counterattack from ashes in the palace to a nine-five-year-old.
