[Dark, unhinged male lead + dramatic, sweet-on-the-outside, cunning-on-the-inside heroine + power fantasy with a golden finger]
On her wedding night, her husband dies. Her deranged younger brother-in-law advances step by step, holding a bloodied sword. “Sister-in-law, why are you running?”
Chu He: ... (Sweating buckets. Anyone there? This is urgent!)
She clings to her brother-in-law's leg and weeps prettily. “Husband! Who's your sister-in-law? I'm your wife!”

She only meant to survive and complete her mission with her peerless cosmetic surgery skills. Who knew the System would give her so much...
Cosmetic surgery for a disfigured noblewoman: Reputation +99!
A prosthetic leg for a disabled veteran: Reputation +999!
Ridding Nanzhou of its crocodile infestation, promoting high-tech seawater salt production, and reducing corvee labor and taxes: Reputation +9999!
When she whipped out an atomic bomb and pointed it at the imperial palace, the entire capital went insane!
The princess who held power over the court: ... (Eyes wide in shock.)
The hypocritical and ruthless crown prince: ... (Knees buckling as he drops to the ground.)
From plain-looking to peerless beauty, from a condemned criminal hunted by thousands to an empress who rules the realm.
Her unhinged brother-in-law protects her every step of the way. He wants neither power nor money, only the position of empress for her.
Everyone marvels: this young imperial couple, one killed his brother and father, the other slaughtered her entire family.
Between them, they couldn't scrape together half a sincere heart, yet somehow they give all their tenderness to each other.
