After Swapping Bodies, I Became the Empress

[Perhaps this is a story about seizing power. Or maybe it’s a story about “I only changed bodies, it’s not like I gave up the empire.”]

For Qi Muzhi, the only good thing about being emperor was that he could make his subordinates write novels for him whenever he wanted, and then read them.

But one day, in a ridiculous turn of events, he switched bodies with the empress. Then he discovered that being empress was even better than being emperor!

And so Qi Muzhi began his journey of flirting (not) with men (at all).

He helps the empress win over her husband, while she handles court affairs and gives him a headache. It’s the perfect arrangement!

“Yan Shu, I advise you to make up with my empress soon. I don’t want to review memorials anymore!”

[Content warning: The story is told from two perspectives. The empress and emperor are allies, and the empress’s love interest is Yan Zhili. The story mostly follows the emperor’s perspective. It’s set in a fictional world, but includes many things from different historical dynasties, including poetry and official titles, among other things. ಥ_ಥ]
