What Do You Mean, Failing My Tribulation Turned Me into a Maiden Empress's Martial Soul?

[Raising an Empress] [Sweet and Well-Behaved Girl] [Devoted Affection] [Lighthearted, No Angst]

After dying suddenly at work, Chen Yusheng transmigrates to a cultivation world. With exceptional talent, he reaches the pinnacle of cultivation in just twenty years. As he prepares to undergo his tribulation and ascend to the upper realm, he encounters a white-haired old man...

“Young ascender, there’s something weighing on your heart. You can only ascend once you’ve fulfilled your wish.”

With his consciousness blurred, he is pulled into another world of martial soul cultivation and becomes the martial soul of Tang Wan, a princess of the Great Tang imperial family.

At the imperial awakening ceremony, Chen Yusheng, despite having reached the pinnacle of cultivation, is judged to be a useless waste of a martial soul...

Chen Yusheng looks at the girl crying beside the bed. She looks just like the girl he once failed to protect when he was powerless.

At a single glance, he knows: it’s her.

“Don’t worry... Since I’ve been given another chance at life, what happened before won’t happen again.”

The Golden Three-Eyed Divine Statue! The highest-tier martial soul of the Great Tang imperial family!

Anyone who awakens it is destined to inherit the throne of the Great Tang.

Tang Wan is the one in her generation of the Great Tang imperial family with the best chance of awakening the Golden Three-Eyed Divine Statue martial soul.

But...

Tang Wan stares at the martial soul before her, entirely white with not a trace of gold, her body tense.

Amid the crowd's murmurs, she maintains the bearing expected of a princess. But once she returns to her room, she can no longer hold back her emotions.

“Don’t cry... It’s just a color.”

“What do you know? Only gold is the highest grade for the imperial family... So why are you all these different colors? Wait, why is my martial soul talking??”
