I’m Reforming a Tyrant in Ancient Times

In her previous life, Su Qingyan was the empress of Great Chu. She was virtuous and kind, loyal to her ruler and devoted to her people, yet her whole family was executed and everyone abandoned her. She met a tragic end! Given a second life, Su Yue clenched her fists and vowed to defy fate, reign with the bearing of a phoenix, and win herself a peerlessly handsome man! Ding! The Empress’s Reversal and Lifesaving System has successfully bonded! Three supreme skills, instant recall, hearing people’s thoughts, and discerning talent, all maxed out. Her golden finger buffs are stacked to the limit! Core mission: Change your tragic ending, increase your chances of survival, and achieve the “Reign with the Bearing of a Phoenix, with a Happy Beginning and Ending” accomplishment. Then you can choose to stay in Great Chu or return to your original world, and even take any handsome man with you! With the System in hand, the world is mine! The once-gentle empress transforms into a sharp-tongued force of nature, putting every dissenter in their place. The emperor waits outside the palace to apologize? “Write a ten-thousand-word self-reflection and explain exactly what you did wrong!” The emperor gets drunk and begs to see her? “No. I won’t see a drunkard!” The emperor sulks and goes to Consort Yu? “Consort Yu is frail. Send Consort Qi over to look after her too!” The tyrant Chu Fengchen finally loses patience, storms into the palace with a sword, and roars, “Su Qingyan, what will it take for you to forgive me?” Su Yue looks up at him coldly, each word cutting to the bone. “Either grant me a letter of divorce and set me free, or give me a length of white silk so I can die. Want me to forgive you? Not in this life, or the next!” Watch as the reborn empress, with the System at her side, tears apart the white lotus, reforms the cold-blooded tyrant, and turns her fortunes around to reign with the bearing of a phoenix, all while whisking away the handsomest man of them all!
