Tribulation in the Mortal World: I Become Empress Among Humans!

In her first life, Chu Zhao was a top researcher at a scientific research institute and one of the country's leading technical experts. Who could have imagined that her incompetent apprentice would get the simplest gunpowder formula wrong and blow her up?

In her second life, Chu Zhao transmigrates to the cultivation world with her memories intact. As if blessed by the Heavenly Dao, she gets one cheat after another: a personal space, top cultivation techniques, and all the rare treasures she could want. But even luck runs out. When Chu Zhao reaches the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, she still cannot find a chance to ascend, no matter what she tries. Following the advice of an expert, she chooses to be reborn and undergo a trial in the mortal world.

And so begins her third life. Carrying the memories of her first two lives, Chu Zhao transmigrates to an alternate era, where she is abandoned by her husband's family from the start and saddled with a child to boot. If you show me no mercy, don't expect me to show you any. She slays the scumbag and his family, then sets out on the path to becoming an empress!
