The Phoenix Rules the World: Every Lover Is My Subject

Chu Minghuang, the most outrageous princess in Great Chu, is given to drink and debauchery, and everyone thinks they can bully her. When envoys from Northern Di demand that she marry into their kingdom and the entire court wants to send her off, she drunkenly knocks over the imperial jade Buddha, then turns around and claims the lucrative job of overseeing the Longevity Festival. Everyone waits for her to make a fool of herself, not knowing this is only the beginning of her path to becoming empress. She appears to be living in a drunken haze, but in secret she manipulates the power struggles of the realm with ease. The new top scholar, the most brilliant man in the capital, willingly bows to her and becomes her darkest blade. The young general who guards the nation, brave and battle-hardened, is willing to bend for her and become her sharpest sword. The wealthiest man south of the Yangtze, rich enough to rival a kingdom, lays mountains of gold and silver at her feet. Even the gloomy, scheming chief eunuch serves her alone. They help her eliminate political rivals and win the people's support, ultimately placing her on the highest throne. But when they want more and cautiously ask, “Your Majesty, what of the consort's place...” Chu Minghuang merely lifts their chins with lazy fingers and parts her red lips. “My dear ministers, we are only sovereign and subject. Or... you could call us lovers, but nothing more.” The realm is hers, and so is the harem, naturally. She may share her phoenix bed, but she will never share her empire! Watch as a generation-defining empress reigns over all under heaven and takes the most powerful ministers as her devoted lovers!
