Su Niannian, a modern graduate student in history, wakes up to find she's transmigrated into the good-for-nothing seventh princess of the Great Qing dynasty, a matriarchal kingdom. Her mother doesn't favor her, her sisters are fighting for power, and all she wants is to lie flat.
But then she accidentally saves a hostage prince from an enemy nation, takes a top scholar as her adviser, gets pressured into marriage by a general's son, and is finally shoved forward by her mother to take the brunt of an attack.
With no choice, she takes up the job and rises all the way from good-for-nothing princess to empress.
