: The modern soul Li Xiao awakens in the cold palace in the body of the ninth princess Xuanyuan Xiaoming. Faced with a desperate situation, she decisively "escaped", set fire to fake her own death, and escaped from the palace under the pseudonym "Xuanyuan Xiaoming". The "Empress Development System" that comes with time travel is activated, and its core function [Voice Resonance] allows absolutely loyal subordinates to directly listen to her inner voice instructions, achieving efficient and silent command. With this as the core, she created the secret organization "Secret Cell", infiltrated the market, Jianghu, and business circles, and accumulated original capital and intelligence network. It just so happened that the imperial court was opening an examination to select people from poorer families (but in fact they were still men). She saw the only chance to break the ceiling - to disguise herself as a man and take part in the imperial examination! From the county magistrate to the prefect, and then to the central government, her struggle with the princelings and powerful ministers' groups became increasingly fierce, and conspiracies, assassinations, and political tides followed one after another. Finally, on the night when the old emperor was critically ill and the capital was in turmoil, she led the "hidden" and reformist forces, combined with some military figures who saw the situation clearly, to control the situation with thunderous means. In front of the Taiji Hall, she revealed her identity in public, as a woman, holding the imperial seal and the petition from all the people. In the glorious light of the completion of the system's final mission of "ruling the world", Jian Zuo ascended the throne and became the first female emperor in the creation of Dayong. After ascending to the throne, facing an empire that was waiting to be revitalized and the still powerful conservative forces counterattacking, she relied on her absolutely loyal core team to implement all-round social reforms including women's imperial examinations, marriage autonomy, property rights, universal education, etc. In one generation, she completely turned things around and created a prosperous era called "Zhao Xian", truly practicing the ideal of "equality between men and women."
