Help! The Sky Screen Says I'm an Empress for the Ages

Liu Yan is born into the Han imperial family as the youngest daughter of Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Zifu.

History remembers her as Princess Shiyi, timid and cowardly.

Facing a suspicious father, a gracious mother, and an obedient elder brother, the crown prince, a thought buried deep in her heart burns ever brighter: If women share the same imperial blood, why can’t the Han have an empress rule from the throne?

To avoid her father’s suspicion, she hides behind a meek, submissive facade while secretly making plans.

Then the sky screen suddenly appears overhead, listing her deeds one by one.

[Today, we’re taking stock of history’s strongest carbon-based life-form, the ceiling of combat prowess, ruler of the cosmos: Emperor Zhaolie Xuanwu.]

Five-year-old Liu Yan, a tiny little thing: ???

Seriously? All I’ve been thinking about is how to make my little life a bit better.

How does some stupid sky screen equate me with treason?

Liu Che watches as the sky screen shows him taking elixirs until he becomes a suspicious, short-tempered emperor. Then he looks at the generals serving his daughter after his death: Li Xu, the chancellor Huo Guang, and the Grand Censor Liu Ling…

With their help, she not only conquers the surrounding lands, but even unifies the world.

Just as everyone is about to denounce her for warmongering, they see potatoes and sweet potatoes yielding five hundred kilos per mu, trains traveling a thousand li in a day, and cannons that can “exorcise” people with physics…

The ministers look at one another, then all kneel in unison. “Your Majesty, we beseech you to abdicate!”

Emperor Wu of Han?

Fine, fine. So you’ve all been keeping this from me, huh? I’ll abdicate, all right?
