The Ancestor Returns a Thousand Years Later, and All of the Capital’s Elite Kneel

[Completed] (The rating just came out and will rise later) [Ancient-to-modern transmigration + face-slapping + everyone’s favorite + two powerful leads + devoted to each other in both lives]

A thousand years ago, Empress Su of the Southern Dynasty, who had supported the young emperor, secured the realm, and built a legacy for generations to come, transmigrated.

She found herself in the body of Su Liyue, the daughter the wealthy Su family had just found, who had grown up in the countryside.

The Su family looked down on Su Liyue as crude and embarrassing, making life difficult for her at every turn.

The wealthy elite of the capital called her a country bumpkin and a peasant, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.

But little by little, they realized something was off…

She knew the medical techniques invented by their revered ancestor, Empress Su!

She also knew the lost embroidery techniques of Empress Su!

She even knew the exquisite musical pieces Empress Su had mastered!

And she solved the chess puzzles Empress Su had left behind!

…

The capital’s wealthy elite all fell to their knees: “Please, take us as your disciples, Master! No, Ancestor! Living Ancestor!”

Research lab: “There’s a set of data we can’t calculate. Could we ask you to solve it?”

Huo Xiao, eldest grandson of the powerful Huo family, looks exactly like Huo Xiao, the God of War who was Empress Su’s cherished first love.

In her previous life, Huo Xiao guarded the border for ten years for Empress Su, becoming her sharpest blade and strongest shield, protecting her peace for a lifetime.

After she died of exhaustion, he stained the sands with blood, fell in battle, and followed her in death.

In this life, Su Liyue choked up as she gently caressed her beloved’s face. “This time, I’ll protect you.”

The young emperor, Nangong Yu, also transmigrated to the modern era. He took Su Liyue by force and locked her to the bed, then knelt before her with red-rimmed eyes and begged, “Sister, you’re my wife. Please, don’t leave me!”
