Beneath the Phoenix Crown, the Mark of a Ruler’s Rod

I transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty and became the most unruly legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue's household.

The upside: I have a master's degree in history, so I know who makes it to the end.

The downside: In the rigidly rule-bound Tang Dynasty, getting beaten became part of my daily routine.

My mother beat me, my aunt beat me, the palace governess beat me, and even His Majesty beat me.

They said I was an empress who grew up getting beaten.

But I think

Every beating I endured eventually became one of the brightest pearls on my phoenix crown.

Every day I spent down on my knees was all for this, in the end:

To rise, uphold the realm, and become the mother of all under heaven.
