Ma Xiyue hit her head on the coffee table, saw stars, and woke up as the most unruly princess in the Tang Dynasty.
At a palace banquet, everyone expected her to make a fool of herself and get into trouble again.
Instead, she gazed at the golden vessels filling the hall and exclaimed with delight, “That’s all money!”
The whole realm was stunned. The unruly princess had changed.
She made money, stockpiled grain, won people over, and developed the economy. Along the way, she even recruited the famously unyielding, cold-faced God of War.
The emperor fell gravely ill, the court was thrown into turmoil, and rebel forces advanced to the capital.
Ma Xiyue stood atop the city wall and smiled. “I’m not rebelling against my father. I’m rebelling against this rotten system.”
“Now it’s my turn to set the rules.”
