From Beggar to Empress: Fighting Her Way from the Garbage Heap to the Imperial Throne
A modern woman wakes up in the final years of the Yuan Dynasty, inhabiting the body of its most miserable little beggar. From the start, she sleeps in a garbage heap, is so hungry she’s close to death, and is bullied by everyone, trapped at the very bottom of a world in chaos.
But armed with modern knowledge, she defies fate and changes her life! What others see as trash, broken porcelain and scrap metal, is money in her hands. She gathers recyclables to earn her first fortune, and never has to go hungry again.
Plague sweeps the land in troubled times, killing countless people. She uses modern knowledge of hygiene to prevent the spread of disease and save lives, winning the people’s support in a single stroke. She understands street gossip and the larger currents of the world at a glance. With the prophecy of “the phoenix crying through the nine heavens” behind her, her name resounds far and wide.
The realm falls into chaos. Treacherous ministers hold sway, eunuchs abuse their power, and foreign threats and internal strife never cease. She rises through the ranks, cutting down her enemies every step of the way! She allies herself with a fallen imperial clan, turning a powerless prince into her strongest backer. She outmaneuvers treacherous eunuchs and powerful ministers, making a pack of sly old foxes fall neatly in line. She rallies refugees and religious followers, builds a fiercely loyal force, and lays an all-encompassing intelligence network. Anyone who refuses to submit gets crushed.
No powerful family or influential backer? She builds her fortune from scratch in a garbage heap. No elite troops or great authority? She sweeps all before her with popular support and ingenuity. She takes on treacherous ministers, quells internal rebellions, and drives back foreign enemies. The nobles who once looked down on her end up beneath her feet, kneeling and swearing allegiance.
She turns junk into stepping stones and the people’s support into a blade, fighting her way from the filthiest mud to the most exalted imperial throne. With modern ingenuity, she defies fate, rises from beggar to ruler, and becomes an empress who reigns over all under heaven!
The worst start, the fiercest comeback, the most satisfying face-slapping: nonstop thrills from beginning to end!
Very pretty.
