Travel through time and become Xiao Yanyan, a Khitan noblewoman? No, this is my time in itself.
When I was twelve years old, I discovered the conspiracy during an autumn hunt and showed my talents for the first time. At the age of sixteen, I entered the palace and learned how to rule an empire at the bedside of the ailing emperor. At the age of twenty-three, my husband died and my youngest son ascended the throne. I came to the court with the dignity of the Queen Mother. Faced with the surrounding clan and the disobedience of various tribes, I suppressed the rebellion with thunderous means and firmly held the power in my hands.
They said that I was a heck of a chicken, so I let the Daliao cavalry break the Song people's dream of the Northern Expedition. They laughed at me as the heroine, so I conquered the Song Dynasty in the south, conquered all the tribes in the west, and created a prosperous age. From the deep palace to the court, from the grassland to the secluded swallow, I want these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to obey my will.
Handerang is my sharpest sword, and Brother Yelvxiu is my strongest shield. The Son on the Dragon Throne is the most successful work of my life.
History calls me "Empress Dowager Chengtian", and later generations will joke about my love. But only I know how I walked from Yanyuntai to the top of the world's power step by step.
