[A body swap across two worlds + a max-level matriarch turns the tables with reverse PUA + a fearsome tyrant falls for her on his own + no pointless self-torment]
Sheng Qingyi, a max-level matriarch in the Great Zhou dynasty, opens her eyes in the modern world as a downtrodden woman forced into an arranged marriage. Her husband is Pei Jingze, a cold-blooded, violent “living Yama” from Beijing’s elite circles who is paralyzed from the waist down.
Sheng Qingyi calmly lowers her red bridal veil. No need to panic. It’s just a new employer and a new job to clock in for.
On their wedding night, Pei Jingze brings home his pregnant “true love” and demands that Sheng Qingyi give up her place.
Sheng Qingyi is overjoyed and draws up a schedule that very night. “Since my younger sister is pregnant, she can start serving me at dawn tomorrow: helping me wash and dress, and reciting Lessons for Women.”
Three days later, the “true love” has a mental breakdown and runs away in the middle of the night.
Pei Jingze fumes. “Are you really in such a hurry to push me away?!”
Sheng Qingyi replies with serene dignity, “Bearing heirs for my husband is my duty.”
From then on, the max-level matriarch dominates the modern world with skills from another era. She becomes a sensation online with Great Zhou-style blind embroidery on a variety show, then uses The Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars to drive her wicked mother-in-law abroad overnight.
Later, Pei Jingze recovers the use of his legs and offers her his trillion-yuan fortune as a declaration of love.
But Sheng Qingyi hands him a divorce agreement. “You’ve recovered, so my duty as your substitute bride is fulfilled. I shall take my leave now that my work is done.”
The once-arrogant tycoon from Beijing’s elite circles goes completely mad. Eyes red, he humbly throws himself at her feet. “Mrs. Pei, if you won’t be my wife, could I at least be your kept man?”
The ancient mirror lets them swap worlds! A rebellious modern heiress uses drones to seize power from the emperor in ancient times. Two girls cross a thousand years, each becoming queen of her own world!
