Synopsis

Yue Qingyan, the only legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household, became the Empress Dowager. She declared: “This feels amazing! So power is a woman's best tonic. What a marvelous boost!” Everyone said she was blessed with good fortune: the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, beautiful and radiant, adored by her father, cherished by her childhood sweetheart, the young marquis, and once even able to claim the newly appointed top scholar as her own. In the end, she became empress. She thought that was the happiest ending possible, but then she became the Empress Dowager, the most honored person in the realm. She was the most valuable bargaining chip in her father's calculations. When she was young, she forcibly claimed the newly appointed top scholar, but he ignored her, with his heart devoted solely to his own beloved. When she couldn't have him, she had her father banish him to the wilderness. The devoted young marquis by her side was handsome and charming, but she didn't think Xiao Ce was worthy of her~ [The female lead knows her own worth] Later, her father taught her: If you want something, get it by any means necessary. Then he asked whether she wanted to be empress~ In the end, she chose the most obscure, down-and-out prince as her husband, then used her father's power to put him on the throne. But after he secured his position, he slapped her just because of something his favored consort said? Yue Qingyan smiled. If that was how he wanted to play it, he couldn't blame her for being ruthless. So she adopted a puppet prince and brewed a slow-acting poison to send him on his way In the end, she ruled from behind the curtain and became the most honored person in the realm. The young marquis became a mighty general commanding a great army to help her rise to power, while the once aloof and dazzling top scholar regretted everything... Her fingertips traced the imperial seal as she said coldly, “I can take whatever I want for myself. Father was right!” #TheBelovedGoesOnARampage #DevotedMarquisOnGuard #ThePoisonousEmpressTakesTheThrone
